| Mary Magdalene playing the lute |
|
I'm happy to report that I will be able to give more time to this project now and in the coming months. Some large and demanding projects (college applications, the fall play, etc.) are now behind me and I have time now to work here. I plan to spend much of this time reading and learning about the lute in various historical situations. This will be vital to my final presentation. The presentation will be a look at the cultural and musical influence of the lute in various societies. It will present historical artistic, geographic, and political elements with the music that underscored them. My goal in the coming months is to learn about these cultures and their music, meanwhile practicing my lute to get a feel for how their music sounded.
