Are You a Lutenist?

One of our own lecturers, Dr Peter Argondizza, has uploaded his paper about lute intabulations and fantasias, onto the academic social media website, Academia.edu. 

You can read it here:-

“Ornamented Intabulations and Derived Fantasias: Parody, Imitatio, and Genre in Vincenzo Galilei’s Lute Arrangements of Alessandro Striggio’s ‘Nasce la pena mia’”

Musical limericks no.1

The Flautist

A student who tootled the flute

Confessed to adoring the lute

But she got her wires crossed

When her music was lost

And could not tell Mudarra from Poot 

The Oboist

The oboist played somewhat loud

Because he was working the crowd

When the reed gave a squawk

They were all set to talk

But the fella just stood there and bowed.

 

 The Clarinettist

A girl bought a gold clarinet

But it led to her drowning in debt,

So the kind soul who taught her

Drew cash out and bought her

A soup and a sandwich at Pret.
