Instrumenta Antiqua was created in 1964, long before personal computers. Its mission was (and still is) to reveal to the world the extraordinary music that was popular in Europe 400 years ago. Who (in 1964) could have foreseen the electronic revolution to come and the Internet? It seems astounding that lute music has made it to the WWW in 2003! This says much about the quality of the art they practiced long ago and the enduring beauty and power of the lute.
Stan Buetens co-founded the Lute Society of America with
Ken LaBarre, his student and collaborator on several lute works offered
here. Stan was invited to teach the lute at Stanford University in 1966
and became president of the LSA in 1967. E-mail Stan: stan@lutebooks.com
