Prelude by Francois Couperin

This piece is inspired by the french improvised unmeasured prelude. It is informed by my immersion into baroque lute music over the past several years, but hopefully will sound fresh and contemporary to modern ears. I entitled it 'Prelude to Wissem' because Jozef van Wissem is playing in Asheville next week and i am very enthusiastic of his approach to modern music for lute. This prelude is my first contribution to the modern lute movement.
