Dear all,
This database provides a complete overview of all music that was published for Renaissance lute between approximately 1460 and 1620. It includes almost 40,000 titles spread over more than 600 sources. Hopefully it will be a functional instrument and a source of inspiration for anyone who plays the Renaissance lute. In addition to listing all the pieces from the sources, along with their concordances in chronological order, I also refer to publications in the magazines of the Lute Society, the Lute Society of America or the Belgian Lute Academy. This includes pieces published in a modern, non-facsimile edition. There will be regular updates.

An example from the Lavanthal-manuscript, “Wan dan der met seinen flammen”, which is a version of “Est-ce mars” by Pierre Guédron.
