Cigar Box Guitar and classical music met again after 150 years!
In the middle of XIX century there were musicians who classical pieces performed on homemade instruments such as Cigar Box Guitar. But, unfortunately, there are no records of these unique performances did not survive. How do sounds classical music of the Renaissance on cigar box guitar?
"Das Wohltemperirte Cigar Box Guitar" Album ( translation: Well-Tempered sigar box guitar ) was recorded in a home studio by Eugene Nemov.
The list of works you will see all the familiar songs and names of composers such as Franz Shubert, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Albinoni and names of familiar music lovers Renaissance: Pascal Bouquet and Francesco da Milano.
Pascal Bouquet - French lutenist, he lived in XV-th century. Pascal Bouquet composed many excellent works for lute and baroque guitar. Musical notations this musician survived to this day. "Brande des Hermites" and "Volte Praetorius" - it's two works from the collection of popular dances of France, Pascal Bouquet written specifically for learning to play the lute.
Francesco Canova da Milano (Italian Francesco Canova da Milano) - Italian Renaissance lute, one of the major European composers XVI veka.Franchesko Canova da Milano is one of the best composers of lute music, and possibly greatest lute virtuoso of all time. His work, and the amazing beauty of a consistently high level, and are often performed today.
Just the album includes two copyright works Eugene Nemov - "French dance" and "English dance". They are written in a popular style of lute music of the Renaissance .
All works have been performed at 3-string classic guitars from cigar boxes, made by Eugene Nemov. Description and images of these instruments You can see on the site www.cigarboxguitars.ru and personal Evgeny Nemov page on the www.cigarboxnation.com ;
Thanks for friending me...I'm back safe in the high grounds of the Black Country Delta now, I'll be in Upton again for the Blues at the weekend...rain or shine so I if your going I'll see you there?..keep your eye on that Mississippi Severn...with the new flood barriers in place it won't affect the town so the festival is safe, but they have had to move the camping 2 fields up from the usual site.
Fortunately, through this modern technology it is possible to work together to a point. I have Skype but I haven't really got around to making lessons via this venue fully up and running. I also plan to begin a series of lessons about theory and practice. This will cover a clear apporach that I feel will make playing any string instrument regardless of number of strings or tuning more understandable. Like anything in life, you really need a good mental picture before you try to physically do something. Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee
Thank you Paul. Using Open tunings, a 513 (tones from the major scale) triad (basic 3 note chord) can be used to make moveable chords. On 3 strings CBG I use ADF# Tuning. This is 513 in key of D. On 4 string I use DGBD (Open G Tuning). This is 5135 in the key of G. On a 5 string banjo the triad is here gDGBD / 15135. On a 6 string the tuning in Open D is DADF#AD / 151351 and Open G DGDGBD 515135. Basically, if you can understand the string relationships your knowledge is simply transfered onto another instrument. Enjoy, Keni Lee
