'Alman' by Robert Johnson (c. 1583 – 1633), from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, transcribed/arranged by my teacher John W Duarte.
The guitar used is perhaps not my best one, it is an electro-classical Alhambra; I felt however that the lighter, thiner and at times a little rough tone of the instrument went well with the texture of the music, hopefully aided by the third string in F# and the capo on fret III, which would put it in the range and tuning of an English lute of the time. The piece is a keyboard not a lute piece but Johnson was foremost a lutenist so I felt this was appropriate.
