I recently posted a note on the de Visee theorbo pieces arranged by Romic for
"archlute",
published by Tree Editions, that fit exactly onto an altgitarren because Romic
tunes his third
course as for a guitar in G. The lutenist, Richard Civiol, just type this into
Google to find the
many entries under his name, under the website, luth librairie, has a fair
number of pieces of
considerable interest to a guitarist. In particular, the pieces by Pietro Paolo
Melli, for lute,
attiorbato, as well as chittarone, are little known to guitarists, outside the
piece, "La
Monarcha", and are characteristc pieces of some originality and charm. The
attiorbato pieces
are written for an 11c instrument that fit well onto an altgitarren. They are
published in a
very clear Italian tablature. The pieces are easily transcribed into standard
notation, and I
have found that with a little practice one learns to play from the tablature
directly, though I
am still rather slow at the moment.
