some Renaissance Music

Sorry for the bad audio quality. My new laptop is quite noisy... Some glitches in the second song. Sorry about this too.

Espagnoleta - Gaspar Sanz
Toy - Francis Cutting

Played on my Ohana Sk-35 soprano ukulele with aquila strings.

Very nice songs to play on the ukulele indeed. For the people that ask for the tabs of these songs I can give you a little tip. Download a midi file of the piece you want to learn. Open the midi file with a guitar tabbing program (like guitar pro). You should get a pretty accurate guitar tab for it. Then you can change the configuration and get the notes for the ukulele.

Hi,

Thanks, but it doesn't work this way. Arranging music for ukulele means much more as just converting some midi files. It can't be explained it in a few words. To get a small glimpse of it, you can read the book "The Solo Ukulele Recipe" by Rigk Sauer.

@wwelti By no means did I imply that this quick method is an adequate substitute for putting your own effort and arranging something from actual notes. But it can be an easy way for a beginner (like me) to get a glimpse at the piece and decide if he is able to play it (before commiting himshelf on something that eventually couldn't do). Thank you for your reply sir.

Oh, friends! Can not thou see we must recover ye value of ye Olde, through Plato and Aristotle ye Great? Thou shalt choose! Do thou want ye Ancient knowledge of ye Greek or ye Doomed Times of ye Franks? We shall have again ye Science and Arts, we shall build a New Greece!

[KampfundKrieg]

Absolutely beautiful! Some people are able to duplicate the sounds of the past, and others cannot. You, sir, have that gift!
