Some more tunes from Daunay's transcription of the Skene manuscript. No duplicates, I believe.

Another foray into the world of seventeenth century Scottish lute music, this time from the Skene manuscript, dating from about 1630. These were arranged for the mandore, a small lute with (in this...
As some will know, Aidan Crossey has had some major health issues recently. Today he was taken into hospital for tests and possible surgery. (Not confidential information - he announced it on the...
Thank you, J.C. I wish I could say the flowers are from my own garden (though I do use my own garden in some videos). These are two gardens in England (not even Scotland!), but both are private so...
Following on from my posting of tunes from the Balcarres manuscript, here are two tunes from the Wemyss lute book dating from around 1643, from Wemyss in Fife. This was the commonplace book of Lady...

Jim, yes that is what I meant. I would struggle to read bass clef on the guitar (i know some do). And thanks for taking up the baton.
Thank you, @Shamebratt and Jim (and also for reviving the thread).
John Goodin's Telemann for Mandolin book has the Bourrée and Passepied, melody only, which is where I started. I then did a...
Puts my modest effort to shame, Ondrej. A Man's A Man for A' That is a tune that never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Two Burns-connected tunes, both in arrangements by Eric Allan.

Jim, that is more than kind. I can only think that I have developed a light technique because I am entirely a "private" player. I don't play with others where I would struggle to be heard; I'm only...
A third and (for the moment) final posting from the Balcarres lute book.

And another one - as before, I am essentially playing Rob MacKillop's guitar arrangement on two mandolins.

This is another piece from the Balcarres manuscript. As before, all credit to Rob MacKillop, as it is essentially his guitar arrangement that I play as a mandolin duet.

Jim, the exchange related to the posting of a Praetorius piece on the Celtic/folk board, which sparked my interest in your research. The sort of liminal, creole types of music that you mention often...
With reference to a conversation with Jim Imhoff a while ago about how to classify music, I'm really unsure if this is Baroque or traditional, so I am taking the liberty of posting to both boards.

Could I have some of that porridge?!
Thank you, Barry. yes, as Jim pointed out above, one of the joys of this music is that (like say Irish traditional) it can be played on whatever is to hand.
Jim and Joe - sorry, I took a break for...
Very best wishes on your health, Aidan. And take it easy.
That was really good, Colin. The Cat in the Hopper is probably not Irish at all. The original tune is Scottish, the Laird o' Cockpen (not going to link to my own recording, which isn't a patch on...
Great stuff, Ondrej.
Jeff, it is a guitar piece. It is one of Paganini's 43 Ghiribizzi for guitar (I posted one myself a little while ago). Ondrej probably has it in a shareable format - if not,...
Indeed - these guys were churning it out a great rate for their patrons, so it made sense to be good at recycling. Your point is interesting - on occasions it must have been a matter of arranging a...
Thank you, Jim. Yes, it was originally written for lute. Of course, many Dowland pieces exist in multiple versions - solo lute, consort etc. To the best of my knowledge, this is just the song and the...
