1. HAND IN HAND

The renaissance guitar repertoire is very small, made of a bit more than 200 compositions, most of them written in France, and only a few in other European countries. 

It's a pity that this wonderful instrument was played in a short time gap, through the XVI century, later replaced by the Baroque guitar which left us a wider repertoire.

So I think it is very interesting that Gilbert Isbin, composer, lutenist and guitarist, wrote new compositions for the Renaissance guitar, giving it a new life after almost five centuries of silence. 

Isbin has recently discovered my interest for his music, both for ukulele and ancient guitars, so I’m very pleased to present “Carpe Diem Suite”, a fresh and suggestive composition in ten movements, enriched by many influences.

The musical writing is unique for the 4 strings and what I believe to be great is Isbin's ability to follow the essential and original peculiarities of the instrument with his mind open to many other recent musical experiences. Isbin’s music is a blend of contemporary music, jazz, modal and ancient music and it is very agreeable since the first reading. Davide Donelli
