The Lute and the River



I love to hear oud music and always think back to how its roots gave us the renaissance-style lute too.

I imagine the travelers that helped create this exchange by traveling with horses and on rivers...

here's my take on what river music may have sounded like:

( humble music made on the North bank of the Tanana River)

thx!!

I like to think so, especially by someone who may have broken tuning pegs and used improvised strings as they travelled between towns.

I think the music of the courts was probably much different, more like the beautiful and complex music in other lute videos on the web.
