徹夜

このところ徹夜ができなくなりつつあります。残念なことですが年齢でしょうか・・・。しかしなんせ今日はレッスンだったもので、昨日は風邪気味の割にかなり早朝まで追い込めました。気は心といいますが、無茶をした割には体調は持ちこたえています。グッジョブ。

《今日の音楽用語》

テオルボ：　16世紀末から18世紀まで用いられた２つの糸倉をもつ大型のリュート。＊『新編　音楽中辞典』より

I am sorry to say it is because of I am getting old though, recently I sometimes find myself cannot stay awake all night. But since I had my lesson today, somehow I was able to keep concentrating on preparing for it from yesterday afternoon until early in the morning today, even though I felt not so good because of the sick. I know it is not good to do that rushing preparation especially when I am sick, but anyway, I want to say "good job" to myself.

《A music term of the day》

Theorbo : A large six-course bass lute to which have been added seven or usually eight diatonically tuned contrabass courses held in a second pegbox glued to an extension of the first. Developed late in 16th-century Italy to provide accompaniment for a new style of singing, musica recitativa, the theorbo was quickly adopted throughout Europe as an important thoroughbass instrument.*Definition by "The Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music and Musicians"
