A Tour of Lands, Lutes, and Lutenists

Tradition and Sanity

In a previous article I shared a general history of the lute, and my particular history with that instrument. Here, I’d like to introduce major genres of lute music, and some of the composers associated with them — from Merrie England to Lutheran Germany. The sources for all of the musical examples can be found on the Substack post itself, along with videos and Spotify playlists! This is a public episode.
