The ancient origins and development of the lute
September 4th, 2008
The instrument we call the lute, which has been with humanity since the days of the Old Testament, has gone through many different changes throughout the centuries. The medieval lute, like many instruments of its time, came from the distinguished Middle East, who did not suffer from the dreaded medieval Dark Ages as their European counterparts did. However, by the 8th century A.D., the lute had come to be the most prestigious instrument in the Mediterranean.Lute players can be called lutenists, lutanists, or lutists, whichever you find more aurally pleasing. Lutes tend to have many strings, as many as 24 and at least 8. Expert violin players struggle over the mastery of a mere 4 strings; thus, it is easy to see why the ability to play a lute is rewarded with so much respect!In today’s world, lutists are mainly found in Europe, although the lute is slowly making inroads into the United States, and other parts of the world. One can only hope that the beautiful sounds of the lute will come back from the past to grace humanity with their relaxing, beautiful tones.
