INTABOLATURA DE LAUTO

Simon Gintzler
(Venice, 1547)

Edited: Gran Crona 2011

Dear lovers of renaissance lute intabulations


Here is the only lutebook by Simon Gintzler, the Austrian lutenist in the service of Cardinal
Christophorus Madrucius. Some of this music can be found in three modern editions. Two of
them are of the ricercares and one is of selected intabulations. Two of the ricercares were
also published in 1891 by Oscar Chilesotti, in his "Lautenspieler des XVI Jahrhunderts", (IMO
the best two # 2 & 4). A number of his pieces were "pirated" by Phalese in several
publications beginning with Hortus Musarum (Amsterdam 1552).
You might find that Gintzler's intabulations are not "overly" difficult to play, and I would
therefore like to share them with the lute-playing community.
Notes:
Printer setup should be set to "standing" and paper size to A4. The tablature font is 12
points. Note that the flags are not duplicated for each measure, and only reappear when
changing value, for easy prima-vista playing.
If you find some of the pieces too tightly formated on one page, or too loose, just change
symbol spacing and font size with (F6).
Very little of this material has yet been recorded. (Herringman) Many thanks to Mathias
Rssel for the translation from latin!
Hope you enjoy this music. If you have corrections, comments or questions, pls. drop me a
mail.
Best regards

INTABOLATURA DE LAUTO
DI SIMON GINTZLER MUSICO
Del Reverendissimo Cardinale di Trento, De Recercari Motetti Madrigali
Et Canzon Francese Nouvamente posta in luce.
LIBRO PRIMO
In Venetia Apresso di
Antonio Gardane
MDXLVII
Illustrissimo AC Reverendissimo Domino Domino Christophoro Madrucio Cardinale ac
Principe Tridenti Et administratori Briximen. Domino meo Colendissimo.
Vetus agricolarum consuetudo fuit, Princeps Illustrissime, ut omnium frugum primitias Dijs,
quibus illas cur esse existimarent, relligiose libarent, ut scilicet pietatem erga ipsos hoc
pacto testarentur. Hunc igitur ego morem imitans, hos exiguos meorum laborum ftus tibi
nuncupare volui: non alia mempe de causa. quam ut servi iam diu tibi addictissimi
observantiam clientelaq3 ostenderem: tum etiam, quia tempestiuum arbitratus sum si id
tibi offerrem. quo delectari te, atq3 capi animadverterim. Cuiusmodi estipsa Musica, Cuius
artem, eiusq3 studiosos omnes fovisti semper ac alvisti, nimirum ratus inter ctera preclara
ornamenta, que ad Principem Illustrandum pertinent, musices studium haud esse
aspernandum. Quandoquidem & hec apud grecos olim tante venerationis cureq3 fuit,
presertim ista que in modulata chordarum pulsatione constat. ut non minus de ea. quam de
victu. cultuq3 corporis precepta sancirent. Hanc Plato Republice necessariam esse credidit.
Lygurgus ille quodq3 sapientissimus legum conditor. rei bellic studium sine musicis
modulis, haud recte constare arbitratus est. His itaq3 causis, hec mea ludicra lta te
suscepturum frone spero. Que & si levissima sint, sub tuis tamen auspicijs prodeuntia
graviora honestioraq3 videbuntur, magnamq3 ex tui nominis celebritate auctoritatem
adipiscentur. ideo q3 & inspicientur forcitam & probabuntur. quia tuo nomine ornata
munitaq3 adversus censorum calumnias erunt tu porro humanitatis erit, hoc quidquid est
nugarum. non ex re. sed ex animo metiri nam & Artoxerxi, sordid aqu uter. Summa
animi devotione a rustico delatus, incundissimus. gratissimus q3 fuit. Vale fliciter
Simon Gintzler

To my most illustrious and venerable lord, the lord Christophorus Madrucius, Cardinal and
Prince of Trient and adminstrator of Brixen, (South Tyrol, Austria) my most dear lord.
It was an old farmers' custom, most illustrious Prince, to spend the first fruits to those
Deities who would take care for them, as was supposed, in order to bear witness to the
farmers' piety toward the Deities by such a deed. In imitation of that fashion, I have wished
to dedicate these little fruits of my labours to you. For this, I have no other reason than to
show obedience and loyalty of an attendant, who has long been dependent on you.
Furthermore, I have reckoned it timely to offer to you something which, I thought, might
please and attract you. Such is the music whose art and students you have always favoured
and nourished, knowing that among other famous ornaments which pertain to the
enlightenment of a Prince, the study of music must not be despised. As regards the days
when it was highly esteemed in ancient Greece, particularly music of stringed instruments
with changing strikes of melody, it is known that commandments regarding music were not
less hallowed than those regarding
nutrition or personal hygiene. Plato held music necessary for general welfare. Lycurgus,
himself a very wise legislator, judged that military exercises cannot be appropiately
conducted without musical melodies. For these reasons I hope that you will accept my
merry play. Although it may be very light, under your protection it will nevertheless seem
more sober and honourable and will achieve great influence from your fabulous reputation
and will therefore perhaps be proved and endorsed, being adorned and protected by your
name against the stings of critics. Furthermore it will be a proof of your education that these
little things will be measured not by its matial shape but by its intellectual contents. For
even to king Artaxerxes a bottle of dirty water, that a farmer had brought him in deep
devotion, was most pleasurable and welcome. - Farewell!
