[…] surviving copies of each of Attaingnant’s lute tablatures are in the Universitäts-bibliothek, Tübingen Introduction begins with two pages of instructions, and then proceeds immediately to the tablatures. As with Petrucci’s, Attaingnant’s lute books include pieces that represent nearly every genre of renaissance lute music: solo lute fantasies, intabulations, dances, and settings of songs for voice and lute. The notable exception is ensemble music, which is represented by lute duets in Petrucci’s 1507 Spinacino print but absent from Attaingnant’s. The opening prelude from Attaingnant’s Introduction (1529) ~ 27:29 above on Hopkinson Smith “Pierre Attaingnant” ~ click to enlarge Preludes and Chansons Introduction begins with five unnumbered preludes. These were the first pieces to bear this title published in France. Essentially, these five pieces are ricercare composed on Italian models, and Heartz argues that they were chosen to provide short introductory pieces that set up the respective […]

[…] genres of renaissance solo lute music: intabulations, ricercari (original contrapuntal fantasies), and dances. Nearly half of the pieces in the manuscript are intabulations of vocal models: frottole by Cara and Tromboncino, motets and mass movements by Agricola, Brumel, Obrecht, and of course Josquin. Capirola’s intabulations are carefully and musically executed. In the intabulations of four-part compositions, the lute transcriptions reproduce the full textures of the vocal originals much more faithfully than in earlier intabulations by Spinacino and Bossinensis – albeit in some cases with florid ornamentation. Vidal’s manuscript includes 13 pieces titled ricercar, which is the generic name given to a short piece of music comparable in character to the fantasy or prelude of later musical style periods. Ricercar literally means “to search out” and the practice of playing a brief ricercar before another piece in the same key (mode) seems to have been common practice for Italian lutenists at […]

[…] one of them, a collection of works by Giovanni Maria Allemani published in 1508, is lost. Unfortunate! Giovanni Maria was one of the most highly regarded lutenists and composers of his time, and worked alongside Francesco da Milano at the court of Pope Leo X. These books are the first printed books of music for lute – the first printed instrumental music of any kind. the first page of Intavolatura de lauto by Francesco Spinacino (Ottaviano Petrucci, Venice, 1507) All of Petrucci’s lute books are for six-course lute. He produced two books of lute tablature in 1507: both collections of music by Francesco Spinacino, about whom nearly nothing is known. More than half of the pieces are intabulations of vocal works, most of works that Petrucci had already published by composers like Josquin, Agricola, and Isaac. These 46 arrangements of choral works for lute display considerable variation – […]
