Lucie Skeaping talks to Lynda Sayce about her work with lute ensemble Chordophony and her research into the sound and repertoire of the lute ensembles used in Renaissance courts.
Lucie Skeaping talks to lutenist Lynda Sayce about her work with the new lute ensemble Chordophony. The ensemble play on a set of lutes, the only custom-built matched lute family in the world. Lynda's research work with the ensemble aims to recreate the sound and repertoire of the lute ensembles employed in Renaissance courts and much of the repertoire Chordophony plays has been reconstructed from documented traditions.
