Introduction

Vaghe Belleze is an abbreviated title for the first piece in a series of six lute pieces transcribed for guitar by Oscar Chilesotti - an Italian law student turned musicologist. I actually played the entire set of six pieces as part of my first year undergraduate end-of-year recital. The pieces are beautiful and this one in my mind has the most memorable melody.

Here are the names of all six pieces in the collection:

1. Vaghe belleze et bionde treccie d'oro vedi che per ti moro
2. Bianco fiore
3. Danza
4. Gagliarda
5. Se io m'accorgo ben mio d'un altro amante
6. Saltarello
