Vermeer: the music lesson (almande de la Nonette)

Monumenta Musica Neerlandica

Almande de La Nonette was already popular in the mid 16th century. In Germany this tune was linked with the choral "von Gott will ich nicht lassen", Bach made a setting and countless others. This tune is also sung in the film: tous les matins du Monde. In England the tune was know as "the queen's Alman".
This tune is to be found in Susanna van Soldt's manuscript, which I am recording integrally.

My wife (and I)love this video and music. I noticed you in the picture above the virginal for the first time. Always creative Ernst and nice music!

It is already an older one. It is quite funny, isn't it?

Excuse me, isn't this from the 17th century? info says 16th century

The collection is started in 1592, but must have been completed about 1610

You need to do more of these!!!!!! This was positively incredible and creative beyond words! Were you shot against a green screen? I almost freaked when I saw the music master move. You are just too much, my Renaissance-man! BRIAN

In the fun spirit of this video, I like to imagine that the young woman is sitting on a very high stool, playing the virginal with her toes.
