		Folk songs are primarily communal compositions—that is, they are anonymous expressions of the society or culture that produces them, although the melody and words of a specific song may have had their origin in a single, unknown individual.
		These three features of the folk song are also characteristic of the earliest form of art song of which fairly complete records remain: the Gregorian chant used in the service of the Christian church during the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century).
		In the 16th century the lute song was developed by the lute composers of Spain, England, and France, who customarily sang their songs to their own lute accompaniment.

	Encyclopedia: Lute
		The lute was the premier solo instrument of the 16th century, and continued to be used to accompany one or more singers, often in a popular form of art music called the lute song.
		The lute enjoyed a revival with the awakening of interest in historical music during the early Twentieth Century, and that revival was further boosted by the early music movement of the second half of the Twentieth Century.
		A 6-course Renaissance tenor lute would be tuned to the same intervals as a tenor viol, with intervals of a perfect fourth between all the courses except the 3rd and 4th, which differed only by a major third.

		Art song, to give another distinct genre-family, has never had a status problem and has long had scholarship and criticism, but its study has been largely the province of musicologists, since the music is taken to be where the art in such song lies.
		Song words loom large in that category, having long been assumed to have relatively little art and little worth, whether they belonged to the lives of peasants or of the elite.
		The lute song marks the cultural space in which these contradictions are manifested in their full force, as if to suggest that in the public display of introspection, there will always be a supplement to which no public can ever be privy.

	ch3 - Title
		The impression of the lute as a minority instrument is belied by the exceptional wealth of manuscript sources that survive from the period, ranging from single-line fragments of quickly jotted music on scraps of paper to carefully copied and bound manuscripts of 100 folios or more.
		These categories are not limited to the English lute repertory, or indeed to the lute, and the parallels between this tradition and that of the lute in seventeenth-century Italy are sometimes surprisingly close, sometimes remarkably diverse; the English Golden Age being paralleled in Italy by the repertory during the seventeenth century.
		It is interesting to note that, among the vast corpus of lute song publications, the incidence of solo interpolations is very rare, suggesting a divide between the solo virtuoso and the lutenist who was principally an accompanist.

		The lute was one of the most important instruments in use in Europe from late medieval times up to the eighteenth century, as a solo instrument, in combination with other instruments, or with the voice.
		While Spring focuses on the lute in Britain, he also includes two chapters devoted to continental developments: one on the transition from medieval to renaissance, the other on renaissance to baroque, and the lute in Britain is never treated in isolation.
		Six chapters cover all aspects of the lute's history and its music in England from 1285 to well into the eighteenth century, whilst other chapters cover the instruments early history, the lute in concert, lute song accompaniment, the thearbo, and the lute in Scotland.

	Jacob Heringman, lutenist - Reviews
		Most of these songs belong to the most common category of courtly air, that of the air sérieux: suave, elegant songs, often in a free rhythm (that is, without regularly recurring accents) on the usual themes of what we might call the '3 L's' - lauding, loving and languishing.
		When Besard and Bataille first published these airs with lute accompaniments they were probably only restoring them to something like their original conception, for the lute was the standard compositional tool for these songwriters much as the piano would be for nineteenth-century composers, or the guitar for popular songwriters today.
		More courtly in aesthetic are the Entrée, a simple prelude originally played by many lutes to accompany the entrance of dancers for a court ballet, and the Courante, by far the favoured dance form of the period, with its characteristic upbeat and triple-time cross-rhythms, starting to exploit the discontinuous arpeggios of the extraordinary stile brisé.

	music as erotic potion in a renaissance romance
		Gohory’s background and interests render his treatment of the lute song episodes in book 11 doubly fascinating, for here he unites his various obsessions, including music and the therapeutic use of plants, to illuminate Renaissance views on sexuality and occult knowledge.
		The lute song performances induce trembling and fainting, among other physical manifestations, in their targets; but their principal use is as a mind medicine comparable in therapeutic properties to the corporal medicines derived from plants, and particularly beneficial in the treatment of states of erotic melancholy.
		Gohory’s models for his lute song poetry were chansons of the type published by Attaingnant and Le Roy and Ballard and generated by the royal court; in some cases specific pieces clearly provided him with patterns.

		The first group of pieces played by the London Brass on this week's program are transcriptions of airs or songs originally written for the lute by the master composer and lutenist John Dowland, considered to be one of the greatest songwriters of the Elizabethan age.
		His first book of songs for solo voice and lute, published in 1597, marked the advent of the English "ayre" or lute song, a genre of music that flourished briefly from the late 1590s to about 1620.
		The lute song was characterized by a dominant melody line sung by a soloist and written in stanza form, with the words sung to repeated music.

	HOASM: English Song
		But generally the lute accompaniment of these expressive songs is a continuous web of polyphony, sometimes participating thematically with the voice but more often content to unwind in long lines drawn out by suspensions and prolonged by avoidance of direct cadences, superbly subtle in harmonic and rhythmic nuance.
		Taking his songs as a whole one forms the impression that Hilton belongs to the transitional phase which Lawes and Wilson outgrew, where tuneful and declamatory elements mingle, where melody has a life of its own and the bass (apart from the cadences) is still fairly free of the pull of fixed harmonic relationships.
		The fact that each song seems flawed in some way is perhaps the inevitable result of being a transitional composer--owing to the difficulty of satisfying different sets of criteria and lacking genius enough to establish new ones--or the versions as they survive may be corrupt.

	Frank Wallace: Reviews
		The recording begins with a lute song that sounds as if it might have come from Elizabethan times, but for the fact that it includes two voices with lute accompaniment instead of one.
		But, that's a terrible over-simplification, since his lute songs and guitar songs at times also hint at flamenco and Japanese koto traditions and at one point I thought I was hearing harmonies reminiscent of Tristan, plus the poetry he sets is mostly contemporary: Theodore Roethke, Robert Creeley, etc.
		Wallace performs the songs with evident relish and gusto; his voice is warm and expressive and his accompaniment is nicely balanced, allowing the listener to discern the polyphonic interplay between the vihuela and voice.

		But his treatment of the lute song episodes in Amadis endows these widespread courtly practices of music making with occult meanings to construct an erotics of song notable for its richness and complexity.
		At this time he collected Neapolitan dialect songs for three voices and arranged them for four voices, deftly parodying with comical musical gestures, the emotional distress or frustration brought on by relations with women trained in the arts of deception.
		The song texts under consideration are essentially serenades addressed to courtesans by male narrators, and they vacillate between praise and abuse or desire and anxiety, provoking a carnivalesque laughter directed at anyone cheated in the pursuit of sexual fulfillment.
