I guess, Henry VIII got to practice funeral parties on 4 out of 6 of his wives!

Wow, somehow I have never heard this before, and also what a wonderful instrument.

This is the right instrument to play this kind of music, delicious performance, beautiful background.

In the film ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ (1971) this is the very piece that then-Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth I) was depicted as performing on a virginal in her ‘close-confin’d’ rooms in the Tow’r of London when being incarcerated by her half-sister (‘Bloody’) Mary Tudor after 17 March 1554… to keep her spirits up no doubt

She was an excellent harpsichord player throughout her life. This piece would have been written during her fathers reign. He was also a good composer and had quite a collection of recorders.

Elizabeth played “very well, for a queen” apparently … good old Cobbett reversed the epithets applied to her and her half-sister Mary … “Good Queen Mary” and “Bloody Bess” … all the same, I think your playing is brilliant … thanks a lot!

Thank you for listening and for your lovely comment. As a pianist, you certainly would have an advantage for playing the harpsichord, as it is also a keyboard instrument. It does, however, have a completely different mechanism, as it plucks the string rather than hammers like a piano. It doesn’t have dynamics so the touch and technique are very different from piano. I hope you have an opportunity to play a harpsichord in the future. Thanks again.

There are kits for different types of harpsichords and virginal at Zuckermann Harpsichords in Connecticut. zhi.net You might join on Facebook, the group”harpsichords free, cheap and for sale to good homes. They show many instrument for sale and give knowledgeable advice for buyers. If your brother is handy, you might want to check out the instrument in RI. Working on regulating and repairing an existing instrument would be a good way to learn . Keep in mind that harpsichords do not stay in tune and must be tuned often, like a big guitar. Players tune their own instruments. I wish you luck and hope you find what you would like.

Ah Lady Carey! Poor lady came to such a gruesome end! But she stood up to the trend of the day and refused to change her faith and she prayed for the King Henry VIII. the Careys were long and beloved friends of the Tudors and those same betrayed their friendship for their own pleasure and mad devises!

Nice that they randomly decided to start writing the music down at this point.

звучит ну очень актуально, и кажется с текстом на французском или немецком сейчас это мог бы быть отличный поп-трек. и забавно, что даже сбоку и со спины видно, как исполнительница кайфует 😎

What a nice little instrument. Sounds much more pleasant than a harpsichord. Fuller richer sound, not so "plinky."

So this is a Renaissance piece from the time of Henry VIII, he of 6 wives. It is not Early Music at all, but it is in a Dorian mode. It's lovely & worth a listen.

This was beautiful, and had a very marked rhythm. I don't think renaissance music gets the exposure that baroque gets.

One thing I learned, when as a music major, there are no new musical ideas. They recycle and combine existing ones over and over. As old as this little composition is, it sounds as if it could be part of a modern film score.

This one is more compact inn the front-back dimension than those I have previously seen pictures of, but nevertheless sounds good even though it doesn't seem to have much space for a sound board.

I have never, to my knowledge at least, have seen a harpsichord this small! I had no idea harpsichords were made thusly. Two octaves? Is this what was once called a "virginal?" As for the music, a very enjoyable piece to hear, and probably to play. And the composer is unknown? This predates Johann Sebastian Bach by more than a hundred years. Late Renaissance, perhaps? You might look into the music of Henry VIII. He was known to compose a small piece of music on occasion.

@drogers447

Жыл бұрын

The difference between a virginal and a spinet is the orientation of the strings. On a virginal, the strings run sideways from the keyboard. On a spinet, the strings run at an angle. This makes for the difference in sound. ❤️
