English Lute Music (16th Century) on Piano with Harmonic Pedal (dur: 20 mins)

The lute was the piano of its day. Most composers wrote for it, most musicians played it. The pieces featured in this video were transcribed for piano by David Lumsden. In these recordings I used the 4th harmonic pedal in resonance position. The harmonic pedal was invented by Denis de La Rochefordière.
