Cette Méthode de Luth Baroque peut vous donner les bases techniques et musicales nécessaires à l’obtention d’une structure assez solide et complète du jeu du luth baroque. Et c’est là tout l’enjeu et le défi de l’écriture de cet ouvrage : donner, au plus grand nombre de passionnés, l’opportunité de s’exprimer à travers le luth baroque, et ce, indépendamment de leur niveau d’apprentissage. Notre livre est destiné non seulement à celui qui n’a jamais joué d’un instrument de musique, mais aussi au guitariste avisé qui veut s’initier aux mystères du luth baroque ! Mode d’emploi Notre Méthode de Luth Baroque est divisée en trois parties. La première partie, plutôt théorique, aidera à mieux comprendre la façon de jouer la musique écrite pour le luth baroque. Nous avons jugé indispensable d’avoir des connaissances élémentaires de solfège occidental mais aussi de la tablature (forme de notation musicale spécifique au luth). Ces connaissances, insuffisantes si étudiées de manière isolée, ont été enrichies d’un lexique des pièces instrumentales ainsi que de biographies de la plupart des compositeurs de musique pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. En deuxième partie, nous avons dédié tout un chapitre à l’étude de la technique et de la production sonore du luth. Riche en photos et détails de toutes les étapes techniques que nous devrons franchir, ce chapitre est, sans aucun doute, le plus important de toute notre Méthode pour bien comprendre l’univers sonore du luth baroque ! Ensuite, nous vous proposons 21 exercices, tous d’un niveau élémentaire, mais progressifs, accompagnés de plusieurs pièces de musique. Vous allez d’abord jouer des mélodies pour ensuite ajouter les basses, et seulement après commencer à jouer les ornements. En troisième partie, nous avons choisi près de 250 pièces pour luth baroque à 11 et 13 chœurs. Ces pièces, divisées en trois niveaux, sont d’un degré de difficulté qui s’échelonne du niveau « débutant », « moyen » à « avancé ». Nous avons, tout comme à l’époque baroque, séparé ces pièces selon leurs tonalités et leur nom. Aussi, nous n’avons choisi que très peu de tonalités différentes, afin que le luthiste débutant puisse travailler l’essentiel de son instrument, au lieu de perdre son temps à essayer de s’accorder tout le temps et de jouer des morceaux bien trop complexes pour son niveau. Il n’y a pas de mauvaise musique mais, parfois, il y a de mauvais musiciens ! Faire de la musique n’est simplement pas jouer des notes et réaliser quelques acrobaties, souvent sans intérêt. Un musicien « mûr » se plaît le plus souvent à jouer une simple mélodie et à jouir des merveilles sonores de son instrument ! Nous espérons que cette méthode pourra aider ceux qui n’ont pas accès à un professeur (même si nous leur conseillons d’aller en voir un le plus régulièrement possible), mais aussi tous les professeurs n’ayant pas suffisamment de matériel pour faire travailler, d’une manière systématique, leurs élèves. Bon courage à tous ! Miguel Yisrael - formerly Miguel Serdoura, now carrying the surname of his mother - was born in Lisbon, where he began his musical and artistic career, earning his Diploma in Classical Guitar in 1994. In 1995, he moved to Paris, where he studied the lute with Claire Antonini in the Early Music Department of the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris - CNR. He also took part in several master classes in his discipline, with Rolf Lislevand and other prestigious artists. From 1999 to 2004, he completed his musical education at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland with the grand maestro Hopkinson Smith. As a soloist, Miguel Yisrael has given recitals in France, Portugal, United-Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, China and USA. In 2000, he took part in a television documentary devoted to the lutenist Hopkinson Smith, broadcast by Arte, Mezzo, Classica, RTBF and TSR. He currently lives and teaches baroque and renaissance lute in Paris, where he gives frequent concerts/lectures in the framework of the “Musicien au Musée” program of the Musée de la Musique - Cité de la Musique in Paris. Miguel Yisrael performs on lutes built by Cezar Mateus, Princeton, USA, and with strings from Mimmo Peruffo, Vicenza, Italy. He recorded his first solo CD for the Dutch Label Brilliant Classics in 2008.

They come from traditions including Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Manx, and were gathered from various sources: among others, manuscripts written for Bagpipe, Lute, Mandora, Fiddle, and Voice. The unique personality and sound of the Flute complements them all. A few of the tunes are more than 400 years old; some are new. All have that inexplicable but necessary magic, the quality which draws the flutist to begin the tune again, just one more time. . . Whether a march, lilt, love song, or lament, eachmelody in this collection is a gem; many are sure to become cherished favorites.

Allan Alexander artfully renders the chords on Guitar, providing a harmonic tapestry over which the melodies float./ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

The idea for this book series is to give instrumentalists the opportunity to practice solo improvisational techniques while playing along to rhythm tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums/percussion in various different Latin styles including Calypso, Mambo, Salsa, Songo, Bossa, Guaracha, Samba and Latin-Blues. The 24 grooves totalling over 200 riffs/phrases and play-a-long tracks consists of a variety of tempos and keys. Each groove has a variety of riffs to learn that are generally 4 or 8 measures in length. It would be beneficial if you could memorize these riffs so that you can experiment using different permutations of the riffs as well as being used as a starting off point for one's own improvisations. Each riff has been recorded with a rhythm track with each style having an extended play-a-long track, around 3 minutes in length, recorded without the solo part so you can practice the riffs that you have learned. Also, these musical phrases or riffs may be interchanged from one groove to another and should be learned in as many keys as possible. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Recueil / Flûte Traversière
