The Balcarres Lute Book is a late 17th-century compilation of mostly Scottish music arranged for lute. Thanks to the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen and the editorial work of Matthew Spring, we have a facsimile edition of the lute tablature and a grand-staff transcription, from which I shall be playing.
I have chosen to focus on native Scottish pieces and to omit the foreign, predominantly French, ones. Also, I shall omit, at least for the time being, some pieces that are excessively long, though I may come back to them at a later date. In some cases, though, I shall have to omit a not-too-long native Scottish piece as well because it is not technically possible on the harp, requiring the left hand to play a note and flip a lever at the same time. Also, on very rare occasions, I might have to move a note to a different octave to make it playable on the harp.
Many of the pieces in this manuscript consist of paired strains and thus have an AB structure. Where the AB structure occurs only once, I treat the double bars as repeat signs. In cases where the AB structure appears two or more times, I treat the double bars simply as section divisions.
The most common ornament in the lute tablature is a comma sign after a note. On shorter notes, I treat it as an appoggiatura and on longer notes generally as a short trill, though on the lute I would probably do something a little more elaborate.
It is my present plan to post these pieces in groups of ten at two-week intervals. The following pieces are given in this video:
00:00: Amaryllis Told Her Swanne
02:17: My Lady's Night Gown
03:35: Munck's March
04:59: Phil Porter's Rant
08:06: Amaryllis
09:58: Imperiall Sweetnesse
11:21: My Own Dear Honey
13:02: Simon Brodie
14:41: Peggy, I Must Love Thee
The first ten videos in this series are now available in this playlist, to which further videos will be added as they become available: • Celtic Harp: 17th-Cent... .

Спасибо за то, что вы слушали. Я согласен, что эта музыка прекрасна, и всегда интересно услышать музыку из далекого прошлого. (Хотя эта рукопись датируется примерно 1695 годом, многие мелодии вполне могут быть на несколько столетий старше.) Надеюсь, вы прослушаете всю серию здесь: kzbin.info/aero/PLg2GtsZ0EeLsL-7FkrIr0xIKjevdUT5ux.

​@@stephenarndt1943Да, я согласен. На два столетия раньше, - это вполне даже вероятно. То есть около 1600 года. Или чуть раньше. А я Вас внимательно слушаю. И огромное спасибо Вам, что Вы играете все это, и даёте другим услышать эту замечательную музыку. Потому, что вы очень внимательно относитесь к тому, что вы играете. Это очень ценно! Другое дело, что я сейчас немного чего слушаю. Я месяц назад сочинил маленькую токкату, - вот теперь разучиваю ее из своей памяти (из своей головы). )) Так что слушаю я в настоящее время мало. И больше стараюсь сочинять. (Пока сочиняется - надо сочинять и записывать, чтобы потом не забыть и разучить.) А вас я слушаю. Спасибо! Успехов!

Я рад представить эту музыку публике. К сожалению, я не могу увидеть ссылки на то, что вы слушаете. Однако я призываю вас продолжать сочинять и играть и желаю вам всяческих успехов.
