Lute, theorbo and baroque guitar

[m34nb34n]

WoW. Cool. I wish for a baroque guitar too. Yours looks wonderful. That theorbo is very cool sounding too.

[TheJester1962]

1:40 Mooi stukje Kapsberger(Toccata). Uitstekende uitleg in mooi Nederlands! Groeten uit Java, Regina en muito obrigado.

[Haseeb2]

I never thought I would like the theorbo, but I listened to one of Pandolfi's pieces where it replaced the harpsicord and it sounded fantastic!

[realbanez1]

pieces played on this video:

passacaglia from weiss,(b.lute)... tocatta II ,from j. kapsberger,( teorbo) mariizapalos,canarios from sanz,( b. guitar)

[msutton2006]

Awww! I know it but I can't remember what piece it is. could someone please remind me what the first Bach piece she played was? It sounds beautiful.

[Shadowtech666]

although tabs are a convenient short fix, they ultimately lead to a dead end as true musician ship cannot be fully expressed for lack of chordal understanding of the piece or instrument. She did well though. good sound.

[majav15mg]

@Shadowtech666 Just because one uses tabs doesn't mean that one doesn't know which notes are which or their relationship between each other.

[ludustestudinis]

@Shadowtech666 This is a common misbelief by keaboard players. Actually any decent lutanist can understand the chords from teh tablature and can infer melody lines, the structuring dissonaces, and can even sing the melody directly from the tablature. As you presumably know, both Bach and Buxtehude notated their keyboard music in German tablature, and do you really belief that they "lacked chordal understanding"?

[Shadowtech666]

@ludustestudinis If you have studied baroque music as I do there are very strict rules and patterns that are meticulously 'built' if you will using the music notation they were designed to be played on. For example, look at the Chiaconne from the 2nd Sonata in D minor by Bach. The way the note stems towards the end of the piece indicate the string the player is to be on. The same in the prelude to the 3rd Partita. And just look at the well tempered claviers. Impossible to tab.

[ludustestudinis]

@Shadowtech666 What are you trying to say? That you are a better musician than Buxtehude and Weissbecause you need modern notation for understang the music? Or that Josquin lacked an understanding of chords and dissonances because he worked with part books?

Why shall the notation of music disqualify it. If you consider Weiss' music to be of poor quality, please argue on the basis of itself, not its notation. Funnily, in the 16th century tablature was the only score format.

[Shadowtech666]

@ludustestudinis The only I play from Weiss are his technical etudes which are just that: technical. They do not posses in themselves any real musicalic other than understanding of form and meter. The fact that the 16th century music wasn't in a standardized format was because it sucked. This is before the standardization of the current western key signatures and the 12 tone octave. Why do you think we don't hear of any computers more or less prior to Dowland?

[JoelvanLennep]

Her Dutch is pretty good!

[Cedante90]

wow I wouldn't want to restring the first both guitars..

[aalphan]

Many thanks for this demonstration.

And you have a beautifull "smile" of artist

[dafyddoe]

I wonder how often people smash windows with the theorbo?

[Liranm89]

lol @ the david star on the baroque guitar

[sleeplessingc]

she is one of my favorite classical musicians..

[Icaro37701]

Parabéns, garota.

[luteXV]

You should post more videos like this. Its very informative,.

Thank you

[VoceCorale]

Could anyone please tell me the title of the piece that starts at 0:34?

Great video

[JPCguitar]

@VoceCorale It's Passacaille in D by Sylvius Leopold Weiss

[VoceCorale]

@JPCguitar Thank you very much. Weiss' music is great.

[mano6292]

Genial! Al fin aclaré mi duda sobre la diferencia entre el theorbo y el lute (:

[jeiluifang]

The instruments show are very nice.

[antido]

What is the piece at 1:30 called?

[StrixNoctis]

@antido It sounds like a portion of Fernando Carulli's prelude opus 114, no. 4., if I'm not mistaking it for another prelude.

[oddfellowfloyd]

Beautiful instruments, and sublime playing! :)

[TerrySleeper]

This is fascinating.

Thank you for uploading.

[hugegiant44]

I want a theorbo

[hugegiant44]

I want a Theorbo

[hugegiant44]

I want a Theorbo - badly, but it wouldn't fit into the loft

[1320mystral]

Theorb it's not the most stringed instrument of this old instrument's family. Could be find "simple luhtes" that mounts till 13 or more couples of strings depending from what the musician will play with. Most used tunig's sistem on luthes (depending from repertory) is IV-IV-III- IV-IV and all basses are tuned by II. In the past could be found instruments with more than 32 strings as the Richter's guitarre and so on.

[violatione]

I'm going to start calling the Theoro "Turbolute"

[omoshiroidayo]

thee therobo has sooooo many strings...

[ElPsicoProfeta0993]

How do you tune the theorbo

[eijk82]

waar kocht ze die instrumenten?

[denysbernard]

Muito bonito Regina !!! Parabéns !!

Alguma vez toquei numa tiorba emprestada aqui num conjunto de musica barroca. Realmente o som é fantástico e você toca muito bem !!

Un abraço desde Lima, Peru

[MozartIsFancylalala]

What do you like better, the theorbo or baroque guitar?

[Bellerophon2200]

I WANT ONE OMG, and very beautiful music, good job :]

[key2kingdom]

Terrific, thoroughly enjoyable demonstration. 10* !

[overoath123]

are the frets made of gut on these?

[luteguitar]

@overoath123 yes the frets on these instruments are of gut

[sosome57]

Wow. That was great. Thanks for posting the video. Incredible instruments, qualified musician.

[thepiper84]

No no no Polluxgeminae. The vihuela and the guitar, are totally different to each other.

[ninjae4976]

i love the sound of the lute, but such an ugly head, but such a beatiful sound

[Noctis15]

LOOOL wie das aussieht.. haha das sieht aus als wär es noch vor dem ersten weltkrieg entstanden .. oh man!!!

[Polluxgeminae]

The baroque guitar is also called vihuela

[phocaskroon]

Her native language is portuguese.

In the movie she talks dutch (no german).

[quazamodus]

@phocaskroon "Deze" instrument, cute but wrong. "Dit" en "deze" are as difficult as "dan" and "als":-P. her accent is southern, maybe vlaams. Dank u Regina voor de duidelijke demo's met uitleg*. (als/if "vlaams" dan/then "*explicatie") en dank u phocaskroon voor het postéren. The Theorbe is definetly among the wildest instruments ever invented that i know of so far (among irish pipes and tromba marine).

[Halopedian]

Is she speaking portuguese? I don't know much German but what she spoke sounded a little like it at times.

[fefebelbabi]

She speak portuguese and this language,she is my cousin

[GroovyGuitar02]

monsters *_*

just the way i like stringed instruments =D

(i play 7 and 12 string guitars myself , so i'm a bit of that kind of crazy , after all ...)

[basjo1987]

Excellent video 5 Stars.

She is a very talented musican

[JaredChacon]

what years were the baroque guitar popular in Europe?

[xYEAHxKYLEx]

my god the theorbo is huge how the hell do u tune that beast :)

cool vid

[ninebreaker21]

@xYEAHxKYLEx You have to take off the strap, set the body on the ground and the neck on your lap to tune the diapasons (long strings).

[DuoContinuo]

Best regards to Regina:

whatever nice accent you have, a native German can understand every word of you (not possible with most native Dutch speakers), but of course, your playing is also amazing and making the desire for more...check our beginners version of the Bergamasca ;-))) ... greatings from Berlin/Germany - Siegfried

[Qpidon]

at 3:20, that bas lute, how in the world does one tune a thing like this? you need to be two people to tune this?

[phocaskroon]

I asked Regina. This was her answer:

Of course i dont need help , this instrument is not sssoooo big....my God !

[Qpidon]

hmmm, with all my respect...but that does not realy make sense: the instrument is nearly three meters long! How does she tune those bass strings when the soundhole is three meters from the key's? maybe she has an arm that is that long?! In any case, no need to answer, I just think this is realy funny!

[mgg80]

the bass strings are fixed. no need for tuning, as there are no pegs

[MozartIsFancylalala]

i dont think so the strings get out of tune easily because their gut so i think youre wrong

[opus88888]

@phocaskroon What is the difference between an archlute and a theorbo? Thanks.

[99AJN]

@Qpidon Paul O'Dette often stood on a foot stool to tune his theorbo. I've seen him use it like a railroad crossing gate when a dancer was waiting to com on stage. 

[baroqueboy]

Dutch is such a beautiful language, a perfect accompaniment to those beautiful instruments playing beautiful music.

[hopeforsalvation]

Yes, but they also seem to have strongly unsimiliar dialects, some very nice (like that one), some kind of ugly (like I heard on the radio broadcast once).

BTW I was able to understand like 90% of what she was saying with my High German skills.

I want to study some Dutch aswell.

[TheJester1962]

Dutch has been derived from Low German, so Germans who speak Platt Deutsch can understand most of it. This charming musician's accent sounds more Flemish to my ears. Some northern Dutch accents may sound harsh to foreign ears because of the guttural [x] sounds, like a "Fisherman's Friend" commercial!Her rasguado (strumming) technique on the baroque guitar is breathtaking, incidentally. Does she master the Vihuela as well? Cheers ...

[GustavoBracher]

Bravo Regina !!!!! Belissimo video !!!!

grande abraço para vc !!!!

[Luthval]

Very interesting, waiting for more videos of music...
