Album Notes
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 ;
Enjoy!
Very cool, is the swap meet at the fair grounds? How often are you out there and during what times?
Dang I wish I'd seen that message earlier. Hey this Saturday Jason Farthing of the Budrows is having a CBG art/show at the Santa Ana Artwalk in the downtown area. You should definately stop by. It will be from 7pm-11pm we will be in the walkway next to the Yost Theatre off 4th and Spurgeon. I will be opening up for the Budrows @ 8pm and the Budrows will be playing @ 9pm. Come check it out, Josh Gayou from Smokehouse guitars will also be there that night.
Right now I'm the only guy who'll regularly play cbg, I used to have a friend who would jam with me but he left for the Army a few months ago. I won't be there but there will be Open Mic this weekend. I'll be there next weekend though.
