Courante (Robert Ballard)

"Courante" Music by Robert Ballard (c1575 - 1649) Original for lute According to Grove's Online, Robert Ballard was a lutenist and composer in the French court and the personal lute instructor of the young Louis XIII. This is one incredibly strange piece of music (my words; not Groves). The uneven phrase lengths, hemiolas, syncopations and unusually modern-sounding (to me) harmonic interludes just blow my mind. Surely Ballard had turned on the alternating courante full blast for this one. Thing is, however, I might be playing this ALL wrong. I have no recorded versions to reference and inform and inspire. Those of you who've studied this kind of thing will know what I mean when I tell you that French baroque and renaissance music is not to be played like ANY OTHER MUSIC you ever heard. :D Truly a style apart. So anyhow this is my stab at it. I got this from the great John Renbourn book entitled "Mel Bay's Complete Anthology of Medieval & Renaissance Music for Guitar". Apparently this book is no longer in print, but you should be able to find used copies or a copy still available at finer music shops. (wow, I sound like an advert) Oh, and I'll remember to shave next time. Taylor NS54-CE, hybrid classical
