Leonard Cohen
A lute,
a singer,
a melody,
a comp,
texts of
love and death,
pitch-black thoughts and
rose-scented dreams.
Typical 1600s.
Replace lute with guitar.
Typical 1900s to the present.
Typical singer-songwriter.
Same light, same darkness.
How far can you take a song of Barbara Strozzi before it loses
all historical authenticity? How "disagreeably" may you sing
it? Is it permissible to combine arias from the 1600s with
contemporary pop and believe that there are a much greater
number of similarities than differences? Of course!
Can you really sing a contemporary pop tune to lute
accompaniment without sounding ridiculous? Absolutely!
- Elisabeth Holmertz
Elisabeth Holmertz, soprano, and Fredrik Bock, lutist, toy with
and are intrigued by pop songs from the 1600s and
contemporary lute songs from 2009.
