@Jetluffyq8 - graziemille

With such elegance - you have such a wonderful feel for this material and your voice really suits it.. I applaude you and will try to emulate *grin* More power to your fingers... cheers, Nick

thank you sir - i bought a copy "singing early music - the pronunciation of european languages in the late middle ages and renaissance" - timothy j. mcgee, editor ... but haven't cracked it open once. i figure there were isolated valleys all over europe ... peculiar pronunciation galore - odds are at least one of them sounded yankee.

Aplausos desde Buenos Aires!!! Me encanta!!!

Divertente interpretazione, non filologica (!!) di landino. Magari a lui sarebbe piaciuta; ogni ricerca in campo musicale e' meritevole e Bill comunque suona benissimo ed ha una voce gradevolissima

I do not pretend to any real knowledge ot the eras or the composers thereof, but simply love the sound of the instruments and the music composed for them. Therefore, I applaud you for your promotion of the genre, Bill, and this piece is lovely to my ear.

grazie ancora but i did not write the song - francesco landini did.

[billkilpatrick]

a charango prototype - called "chitarrino diuerso" - appeared in "gabinetto armonico pieno d'istromenti sonori" - plate n° 100 - as compiled by filippo buonanni (1716.) there are earlier carvings in spain and s.a. of small, guitar-like instruments but nothing as definitive as this italian reference.

in the early music context, "something from south america" is praise indeed but it was never my intention to re-enact - merely to sing and play. i hope you enjoy it for what it is.
