“This site is now dedicated to any vocal or instrumental music written in the 20th & 21st centuries which includes lute in a prominent role. The basic philosophy and guidelines for submission have remained the same:

its purpose is to create a platform for composers, publishers & performers to share information about lute music written in the 20th & 21st centuries. There is no intention, however, for this site to be a database of all existing material. A main priority is to provide easier access to audio samples and scores of the material. On this site, therefore, you will not only find brief biographies of the composers, descriptions of the musical works and links to relevant homepages and scores, but also mp3s and links to audio samples of the compositions. Despite the wealth of available material, contemporary lute music is rarely heard at recitals. It is my belief that many lutenists would be interested in new lute music, but are inhibited by ‘fear of the unknown’. It is my hope that this site will encourage lutenists and singers to consider adding modern lute music to their repertoire, and perhaps also compose their own music! ..“
