The Art of the Lute in Renaissance Germany

Volume 1: Early Manuscripts

A collection of four articles on Renaissance German lute music found in early German tablature manuscripts by four different authors: John H. Robinson's article examines the music of Maximilian's court organist, Paul Hofhaimer found in early German lute sources; Denys Stephens reviews music from the German tablature section of Wroclaw 352; Wolfgang Wiehe has transcribed some very interesting music from Ms. 272 including Josquin's Preter rerum seriam; and Dick Hoban's article examines the similarities between two manuscripts from the 1520's, the so called "Adolf Blindhamer" manuscript and an obscure manuscript now in Krakow Poland. All pieces are in French tablature and have been transcribed from the original German tablature manuscript sources for this publication. The book has over 200 pages of text and music.

Master of Polyphony Volume 2

The Polyphony of Johannes Touront and his World

Locked away for centuries in the cathedral library in Trent, Italy, an enormous collection of 15th century vocal music remained undiscovered until the late 1800’s. The Trent collection contains much of the surviving works of the little known, but amazing polyphonic master, Johannes Touront, whose music is among the most inspiring of the age. Touront was a master in the use of sequence and imitation and was among the first use parody as a means to unify the Mass. This edition contains lute intabulations of his entire known output, including several motets and 8 complete Mass cycles from the Trent collection and other sources.

The book sells for $35.00 plus $9.00
for US postage or $24.00 international postage.
