Publications in cooperation with the Belgian Lute Academy
The lute in Antwerp during the Ancien Régime
Musicologist Godelieve Spiessens wrote a series of articles “Lutenists of Antwerp” exclusively for Geluit. As the culmination of this series, the Belgian Lute Academy is publishing Ms Spiessens book: The lute in Antwerp during the Ancien Regime.
This work provides an overview of lute references from their earliest mention in the Antwerp archives.
Ms Spiessens has established that Antwerp was home to an important school of lute playing, with as its foremost proponents Emanuel Adriaenssen, Joachim van den Hove, Adrian Denss, and Gregory Huwet. Her conclusions are amply reinforced with illustrations of lutes and lutenists by Antwerp Masters.
The publication also contains the very first lute instruction books published in Antwerp. Ms Spiessens transcribed the ‘Livre Plaisant’ (1529) en ‘Dit is een seer Schoon Boecxke’ (1568) in modern notation, thus making them available for a broad public.
The text has been translated into English, French, and German.
