Joan-Ambrosio Dalza - Tastar de corde, Recercar dietro, lute

5 centuries ago, Ottaviano Petrucci, in Venezia, published some lute music by Spinacino in 1507, and in 1508 by Dalza. Here are two short pieces by Dalza. the Tastar de corde is a sort of prelude, and the recercar a fantasy.

LUTE Early History: The European lute derives both in name and form from the Arab instrument known as al 'Ud, which means literally 'the wood' The Arab 'Ud was introduced into Europe by the Moors during their conquest and occupation of Spain (711-1492). Pictorial evidence shows Moorish 'Ud players, and 9th and 10th century accounts tell of visits of famous players such as Ziryab to the court of the Andalusian emir 'Abd al Rahman II (822-52).

[Luthval]

It is said that Ziryab put one more string on the lute used in Arabian countries. (Ziryab meaning blackbird)

Here in the early XVIth century in Venice, we have the first printed tablatures for lute, and here start the renaissance lute period, playing polyphonic pieces with fingers, not with a plectrum.

"Caldibi Castiglione" ( Joan Ambrosio Dalza), first piece from his lutebook (1508) could be based on an Arab song

(Howard Mayer Brown "Instrumental music, Harvard University Press, Cambridge Massachussets 1965).

Congratulations( & celebrations...) Mr Val for this "Thing of beauty" !
