Francis Cutting’s five pieces were originally composed for the lute, and have here been transcribed for the guitar by Brian Jeffery from the original tablature. The collection was previously published by Oxford University Press and has now been assigned to Tecla Editions.
Contents:
- Galliard
- Cutting’s Comfort
- Alman
- Pavane Sans Pair
- Galliard
These five pieces have been chosen from the many lute solos by the Elizabethan composer Francis Cutting. We know very little about him, and he probably lived and worked outside London, but his elegant and expressive music speaks for itself. More of it may be found in Martin Long’s edition: Francis Cutting, Selected Works for Lute (Oxford University Press, 1969).
This collection is one of a series of seven titles of lute music arranged for guitar by Brian Jeffery.

I and Tecla Editions have dealt with Strings by Mail for over thirty years, and they have always been courteous, professional, efficient, and always interested in what I was doing and what Tecla Editions was doing.

I recommend to teachers and students not only this item but also many other Tecla titles, for example TECLA 101 The Complete Studies Lessons and Exercises of Sor.
