Lamento_On Rare Lute (Gallichone)

Two anonymous pieces on the Gallichone (also called Mandora). The gallichone was popular in the second half of the 18th century but has since been largely overlooked. This instrument is a reproduction made by Stephen Barber and Harris and has 6 courses tuned in D.

I'm a lutenist too, and it inspires me a lot to see that we're not alone, and reading the comments prove that lutenist can be respected as much as.....idk, guitarists, pianists, violinists (so 75% of musicians in the World). So thank you. (And sorry for the language mistakes, I'm french, so forgive me pls !)

[@ConsumeristScroffa]

Awesome to hear, my friend! You're definitely right, there are more luthiers than we can imagine. And don't apologize for things that don't do no harm. I'm not a native speaker either and when people point out my mistakes or laugh at me, I just tell them that English isn't my mother-tongue and their lips get zipped. lol

[@inn3720]

@@ConsumeristScroffa hehe thanks !

J'aime bien le son de la lute Même si on peut tunné la guitare pour qu'elle s'accorde a celle de la lute Je trouve que la lute a un son assez unique Je suis apprenti guitariste et cela me fascine La lute fais parfois même des son d'Orient comme la oud d'arabie Une bonne mixture

[@maHaTma86]

Since now im a guitarist arround 3 years and this year im safing up for my first 8 course renaissance lute. Theres nothing more beautiful than a lute, pieces that are written for lutes and these old authentic sounds from it 🥰

[@Numenorean921]

You should do videos where you discuss the history of lutes, what it's like to play pieces authentically, how to get into learning the lute, etc. I find the instrument very fascinating

[@aschen__]

Find a local teacher like I did-- its all downhill from there!

[@samuelvesey5011]

Ah shit this makes me want to learn the lute

[@error.418]

A lute is a class of instruments. A standard guitar that you're familiar with in modern rock music is a lute (a necked box lute, 321.322 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system). The lute in this video is a gallichone (a necked bowl lute, 321.321 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system).

[@stellajacobson231]

So beautiful! The lute is one of my absolute favourite instruments due to the sound. Thank you for uploading 🙂

[@majesty7347]

*When i listen you i feel like i'm in the kingdom and one man plays this for me...*

[@RandomSalvage]

Thank you so much for making these videos and bringing us this beautiful music.

[@bradoliver9324]

I wish I could afford to pay you to just sit in and play background music for my D&D group. You play so beautifully! It's amazing to see people working to interpret ages old music in the way it was originally played.

[@jbwise2002]

I hope that Patrick Rothfuss makes you the primary consultant on Kingkiller Chronicles music scenes.

[@nuil501]

Very beautifull, Brandon; I didnt know there was another music with this very name, Lamento. I was searching for Lamento, Pixinguinha, a " choro", when I meet your video. Thanks por sharing, oscar;

[@josevipadilla7224]

Very nice performance, Thanks a lot for presentation here...

Dude I love watching you play!

Every time Brandon comes up in my TL I have to re-read Name of the Wind.

[@Bushwhacker-so4yk]

Ethan Hansen That’s my favorite book!

[@marlenapallido3575]

Fantastic! I really love the sound of this instrument. Such beauty throughout your brilliant technique! Thank you, Brandon!

[@KLSinCT]

Truly delightful music and playing!

[@alexsnow5673]

Brilliant... Just brilliant

[@idraote]

Short and sweet piece. Lovely. I'd never heard of the Mandora and said to myself: "it looks like a lute, though". Wikipedia tells me it belongs to the lute family so I don't feel too ashamed. Every time I watch one of your videos I dream of having a gifted player in my area to prepare small concerts of arie antiche together.

[@heroeus8173]

Beautiful.... No more words I started playing classical guitar and even if in my region playing music is considered a luxe It won't stop me

[@JimmyOlsson]

I'm in awe of such talent and beautiful music! These pieces sounds extraordinarily good with my Nuraphones - headphones that make a personalized sound profile for your own ears using advanced technology! Such joy to listen to! Bravo!

[@ScrabbleDiva]

Wonderful. Just wonderful! :)

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Beautiful. Especially like the description of the music.

Wonderful Luthiers, lovely playing

Always such a treat to see you perform

[@chriswatral6417]

You are, in the musical sense, Kvothe from the King Killer Chronicles. You are an amazing player Im glad I found this channel.

[@rakvian]

That was amazing

[@BarbaraMarch444]

Wow, very well played, very "joli" thank you! ❤️🌸😇

[@MrFair]

Beautifully played! Can you give a bit more information about the pieces? I know that the composer is anonymous, but where are they from and from which time do they come? :)

[@georgewilkins4231]

Extraordinarily brilliant....

[@MacKenziePoet]

How do you obtain such freedom of movement in the body? Paul Odette is almost completely contracted in his manner of holding the instrument which really holds him almost completely stiff.

[@KadeKalka]

Sounds great!

[@olicool476]

so nice !!

[@tyw12]

You should do the songs that bards play in the taverns in skyrim on a lute and they have the same kind of lute also. People really love songs from video games on youtube.

[@theredcat6678]

Yes we do

[@MohammadLameei]

❤❤

[@fran6b]

Around 1:10, I get the vibe of a Cubain clave, even the timber contribute to this impression. I love the playing all the way through!

[@yoongirat845]

so relaxing :3

[@GearSounds]

Amazing performance!

[@dronedruid153]

You have lovely feel man!

[@danielol8710]

I can picture this being played at a town market in front of a water fountain

[@manuelvallejo482]

Súper!!

[@petterhouting7484]

Ever thought of playing japanese lute-like instruments? Maybe the biwa and shamisen?

[@tammichenard1024]

Gorgeous. (and the lute playing isn't bad, either! )

[@manicmandownup]

Brilliant

[@CaptTerrific]

How did you find this piece?

[@brandonacker]

A colleague lent me the instrument along with a book of facsimiles of 18th century pieces written for the instrument and I was asked to put together a solo set of music for it. I played through the whole book and found pieces that I enjoyed and put them together to form a suite (this video is just two pieces from the larger suite)

[@CaptTerrific]

@@brandonacker Fascinating! I'd love to know how he came across them. Is s/he a music historian of some kind? I don't mean to pry, but the process itself of re-discovery of this old music is interesting to me :)

[@davidsharounoff8521]

@@CaptTerrific so you were fascinated?

[@shayanyadegari811]

Hi Brandon! I got a question. Do you sometimes feel your fingers sticky when you play the guitar or...? Do you have any solution for it? It's really annoying. I always keep my hands clean but still, sometimes I feel them sticky.

[@ayo4637]

Vibrato on lute *gasp* that's one sacrilegious boi

[@brandonacker]

😂 actually it's an ornament on lute. Theres even a symbol for it. You just dont use it all the time

[@MrDen-lv5uj]

Thanks. Where can I find the score of this piece??

[@Ibra-BB]

all the Instrument came from the old Oud i think founded In the old Babylon-Iraq 5500 years ago

[@stevennguyen2556]

Where do you do the research to find such pieces?

[@ethanvoss7481]

Little do we know he actually wrote this in the 18th century

[@dbadagna]

Have you ever tried a single-strung Baroque lute called "angélique"?

[@brandonacker]

I haven't.

[@edzmuda6870]

I’d like to hear what this sounds like on a medium/well lute.

[@michaelkartman3543]

I can’t stand those who enjoy their lutes “well done”.

[@EpiGuitar2012]

Very nice sounding! But what a neck angle any gibson would be proud 😂

[@Sephnroth]

[@Murduc1]

Dye your hair flaming red! It'd be perfect!

[@jasonsummit1885]

I just found out that I can order an 8 course baroque lute through Walmart.com for $875, don't know if I should get one or not. I play quite a few different instruments and would like to try the lute.

[@basgerritsen9669]

A baroque lute (tuned in d minor) should have at least 11 courses, to be able to play all German and french baroque repertoire you need 13 courses. An 8 course baroque lute would only have the range of a guitar tuned to f. If it's an 8 course renaissance lute it's adequate for playing most renaissance repertoire, but buying a lute online is always a bit risky.
