Abstract

This project is the first transcription of Giacomo Gorzanis’s fourth solo lute book, Opera Nova de Lauto, published in 1579, into modern notation and in a scholarly critical edition. This project discusses the lute music and works of Gorzanis, and the methodology of how this critical edition surfaced. It also discusses the historical and cultural impact of the dance movements in Libro Quarto. This project will hopefully shine a light on the importance of solo lute music composed by Giacomo Gorzanis.
