'Ground ' by William Croft | Tuomas Kourula, lute solo

Показать описание
This famous Ground by William Croft is a work based on a ground bass, a very popular compositional device throughout the history of music. Usually, and also in this case, it means a set of variations built on a repeating bass pattern. Henry Purcell was particularly fond of this method of composing, and that may be why this composition has often been attributed to him. This Ground does not, however, bear the hallmarks of Purcell's genius, the restless and searching harmonies, but rather a more sedate and quietly melancholic resignation. For me personally this piece is important, because it is one that marks the transition from playing guitar to being principally a lutenist.

Performed on the lute by Tuomas Kourula
The video was shot in St. Catherine's church (Katariinankirkko) in Turku, Finland.

One rarely hears such modest and heartfelt performances on the lute.

I dunno, I watch a lot of lute performances. For my money, this guy just captures it the best. He's one of the best in the world.

Came here because of your epic performance of John Cage's " 4'33" " (a work which gives full flight to my personal talent as a classical guitarist).
Wonderful performance of this ground-bass. If I may suggest an alternative version, there's a beautiful transcription by Nataly Makaovskaya on modern classical guitar on Youtube (tho the piece is mistakenly attributed to Purcell).
Have subscribed to your channel ... all the best from Canada!
