Renaissance Lute. Francesco da Milano. Part One

[@ellenmaccarrone4936]

August 24, 2022. Soothing music for these times, when pandemic changes everything. COVID-19. Monkey pox. A warming planet. Scary times, and music soothing for the soul. Our son, Francesco, and our grandson, Francesco, are on my mind a lot today, so this music is just right. They live in New York State; we live in Washington State. The USA is a very large country!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Ellen. It is my hope and prayer that, with all the ugliness and divisiveness in our world, my KZbin channel can in some small way provide a refuge of beauty and peace. I hope you get to see your son and grandson soon.

My favorite renaissance lute composer

[@MrTuturut]

Perfect play. Joy for the ears!

[@stephenarndt1943]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think Francesco da Milano may well be my favorite Renaissance composer for the lute.

I always had been looking for what I thought was minstrel music. Similar to what you would hear around Henry VIII time but I was wrong it’s lute music I have been searching for. It’s so relaxing and brings me back to an era of kings and queens being entertained and having lavish dancing with the huge hoop skirts. People don’t realize how Rare music was during this era and backwards. You had to be a king just to employ a small group that could play this for you. Now I just turn on KZbin and it’s free at my fingertips. It’s actually astonishing if you think about it. Thank you so much!

KZbin may well be the largest musical library in the world. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred I can find what I'm looking for there. I am very grateful for it. If you like lute music, I invite you to check out my lute playlist.

Спасибо. Музыка великолепна. Звонкая, прозрачная и сильная переживаниями мелодия

[@stephenarndt1943]

Пожалуйста. Франсиско да Милано всегда был одним из моих любимых композиторов для лютни эпохи Возрождения.

Too bad almost everything in here is now by subscription.

Thank you for listening, Jean, though I'm not sure I understand your comment. Anyone can listen to any of my videos without subscribing to my channel (though I always appreciate it when they do).

cette video est un peu ennuyeuse... mais je ne veux pas viser les artistes qui nous rendent accessible la beauté musicale.
