Jacques Bittner Three Pieces 1682


Roderick Blocksidge, lute

I've decided to post some French baroque lute music.   You can find a pdf of Bittner's music in tablature at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France website


To download it you have click on the download symbol on the left side panel, (the arrow pointing down) then to agree to their terms of use, the square box at the bottom of the side window that says, "En cochant cette case, je reconnais avoir pris connaissance des conditions d'utilisation et je les accepte, " pretty much the standard formal agreement, the material is in the public domain.  I did yesterday and it didn't set off my malware alarms or anything.  You will need a baroque lute or an 11 stringed guitar to play it, tuned to a baroque lute tuning.   I can't find any of it transcribed into standard notation.  It is spectacularly good and beautiful music that is too little known.
