La Seraphine

This most remarkable work for renaissance guitar is found in the fourth book of the composer and music publisher Guillaume de Morlaye (1510–1558) - Le Quatriesme Livre Paris (1552).

Though there is no composer ascribed to the work, it is speculated to be by the master composer and lutenist Albert de Rippe. Morlaye was a student of de Rippe and contained within the same book as La Seraphine is a Fantasia by de Rippe that employs the same alternate tuning: the lowest string, the fourth course, is tuned down a half step.

The instrument used in this performance is a 5 course renaissance guitar built according to the the surviving instrument of Belchior Dias (Lisbon, 1581). It is amazing that although the guitar enjoyed great popularity in the renaissance, most commonly with 4 courses, the only surviving instruments from the period are of the 5 course variety.

This beautiful guitar was built by the Italian luthier Barbara Ferloni.

This is a great piece and nicely played on a five course baroque guitar. Just sayin'.

Lovely rendition of a composer well worth hearing more of.

I noticed that you have a 5th course on your instrument. Was the 5th course very common on the Renaissance guitar--maybe as it faced growing competition with the Baroque guitar?

Hello, where would I be able to find the original manuscript online? I tried MLSP but it only has the first 2 books, many thanks! I'd love to perform this in my masters recital

La pièce est renaissance mais la guitare est une guitare baroque, la guitare renaissance n'a que 4 cordes.
