Georg Forster Songbook – Volume 2

Description

“The other theyls / many kurtzweyliger frischer Teutscher Liedlein zu singen sehr lustig Mit etlichen neuen / Liedlein gemehret …”

In addition to his profession as a doctor, Georg Forster was a music lover, lyricist, composer, collector, arranger and editor all rolled into one. His five extensive collections of tenor and folk songs are an enduring document of bourgeois musical culture of the early 16th century. The edition is accompanied by “Des andern theyls … Teutscher Liedlein …” in the fourth edition, Nuremberg, 1565, whereby the part books for ‘Discantus’, ‘Altus’, ‘Tenor’ and ‘Bassus’ have been combined into score for today’s use. They include revelry, hunting and roguish songs, booing, love and court songs, St. Martin’s songs and erotic songs. Although Forster does not add the words “… auff allerley Instrumenten zu brauchen” to the title of this edition, but rather explicitly emphasizes “… zu singen …”, however, the addition of instruments, preferably instruments of the time such as flutes, crumhorns, cornamuses, dulcians, pomeranians and shawms, lutes, guitars and viols is definitely recommended. Every combination from purely vocal to purely instrumental has its charms. With illustrations by Martina Sirtl based on historical models.
