Hi

Author is Vincenzo Galilei. Santa Maria a Monte 1520 Florence 1591. Title : Saltarello. type "Narcisso Yepes" "Saltarello". Narcissso often played "anonymous" melodies as "forbidden games". In fact a melody heard in 1941 film few years before the film forbidden games.

Many thanks for your version, really fine.

Need just some little work to be "cleaned" and to reach Narcisso's very High level one.

Youtube is also a wonderful world for guitar. Thanks to all guys like you.

Many thanks.

John Download, Thanks so much for the wonderful background info on this saltarello. Amazing! I'll begin a search for the sheet music right away. Heard this 20 years ago somewhere, then took a random shot from memory at playing it on guitar. Wanted to catch a bit of the ancient spirit - I'd never presume to approach the grandeur of Il Grande Narcisso! :p Many, many thanks again! Bob

Thank you JohnDownload for your learned comment. Youtube is very useful also for expanding musical culture.

I always thought about Saltarello as played by John Renbourn in his album "The Lady and The Unicorn" featuring David Munrow at the recorder.

This is a completely different version.

I found a video on YT of Narciso Yepes performing live the tune.

My friend Bob -the performer in my video- can surely appreciate your post.

Many many thanks to you.

@VanDeFields Caro Amico, "Saltarello" è stato scritto dal padre di Galileo Galilei che era un notissomo musicista ai suoi tempi. Il tuo arrangiamento, comunque, è piacevole anche se si discosta molto dal testo originale. Comunque Grazie!

[atillawith]

Thanks alot for the background. I think that the history to these songs are just as exciting as the music itself.

[googlecow]

thats my uncle!!

[Deogol16]

This guy is really good...reminds me of a lad I met in Korea. Fingers of a troubadour.

[Bibimbes]

This music evokes the smoky, medieval atmosphere that still exists in those old mountain villages of north Italy where I hiked last summer.

Really nice playing!!

[plyzorba1]

Beautiful. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

[kiowa22]

Many thanks, my friend. Hope to have some new videos up soon! Cheers, Rob

[Yoonsy]

really perfect!!!I am suddenly reminded of your silk extension.hehe

[kiowa22]

Thanks for the kind compliment, Yoonsy! Actually, here I'm playing without my nylon nails. ;P

[anesjha]

Please tell me the title if anyone knows! :P

[kiowa22]

Thanx, Anesjha - very kind of you! The title to this piece seems to have been lost. It's an example of a rhythmic folk tune for dancing typical of north Italy from about 1000 years ago - then transcribed for guitar much later. The only title I've heard for it came much later as, "Roncalli's Tune." Cheers! Rob

[anesjha]

Hey I love this song!

Isn't this one of those classic Italian songs? What's the title?

[VanDeFields]

Well done, man! You really can play guitar! Where did you get such a strange song title? Very nice the ancient tower in the background. Is it really Italy?

[firstonesonme]

I love the rhythmic, playful precision.

[firstonesonme]

Brilliant!I hope to see more work.I thought I knew all the great pickers out there, I guess I just found a new one.Where did you study? Where do you perform. Thanks for posting.

[kiowa22]
