I like this instrument's sound more than of these modern metal versions.

Wonderful. I just bought the book "The Renaissance Flute : A Contemporary Guide" that Amanda co-authored with Kate Clark.

I have little interest in the modern flute, but this is heaven. Thank you for this wonderful introduction to the instrument!

Wonderful! I enjoy playing renaissance music on the "Irish flute"

That bass flute is so cool

Renaissance flute sounds pure and true unlike the somewhat muddled woolly baroque traverso.

There are in fact a couple of original 16th cent. rooms extant today in which such flutes would have been played. They are mostly very small and wood panelled or (as in Chambord) heavily hung with drapery. It seems to me that the predilection for unreasonably 'wet' acoustics by most Early Music practitioners in spite of evidence to the contrary for early chamber music stems from an insecurity regarding sound production. Like putting on excessive make up for a film scene where you play a young peasant girl.

A wonderful video, gorgeous playing, Amanda! Thanks so much for this! The kids liked it, too! 😃

Incredible!

Congratulations, Amanda! So lovely to hear and see you!

Endlessly inspiring. You say it ALL , with one note.

lo mas hermoso que escuche en mi vida

such a well-paced mini-lesson on this deep subject! interesting to see the distinction Attaingnant makes between recorder & transverse which I always wondered about. they were soo attuned to the variety of sounds & textures back then. now it's just 'flute' 😆

a wonderful and very musical class about this magical flutes, very nice the parts with a little reverberation, it makes more ethereal. outstanding tuning!! thank you very much. saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Thank you for sharing! Very much liked Amanda's take on Bassano's Ricercata Quinta, coming along like a 'dialogue with silence'.

Cool, Merry Christmas

Thank you Amanda for your wonderful performance of Ricercata Quinta by Giovanni Bassano. It is very very instructive and helpful for my practice of this music. I am practicing this by corentt in g and I like this music very much. As I am an amateur player so phrasing is very difficult. I think I will watch this video when I have some questions. Thank you again. I will be pleased to see you even in this video. From Japan Minoru Takahashi

I have chills! Lovely explanation and performance.

oMG, that book at the end of the video. I saw the words KATE CLARK and i realized you, Amanda are the REAL DEAL!

Love seeing this! I've just been loaned a lovely tenor flute to play around with and this is done great background to start with. I'll just play through all my vocal music for now
