Hans Gerle
Hans Gerle the Elder (* before 1500 in Nuremberg ; † 1554 there ) was a German lutenist and composer of the Renaissance .
He was probably the son of the most famous lute maker in Nuremberg, Conrad Gerle (around 1445 to 1521), and continued the family tradition.
He was a very good lutenist and published three volumes of lute music through Hieronymus Formschneider in 1532, 1533 and 1552. The first volume contains instructions for playing the lute , the viola da gamba and for the Rebec , as well as instructions for reading the tablature . It mainly contains pieces by German composers such as Paul Hofhaimer , Heinrich Isaac , Ludwig Senfl , Thomas Stoltzer and Johann Walter . The second volume for lute contains pieces by the composers Hayne van Ghizeghem , Isaac and Jacob Obrecht , Josquin des Prez , as well as by Jean Mouton , Claudin de Sermisy , Adrian Willaert and Ludwig Senfl. The third book mainly contains transcriptions of pieces that were previously only available in Italian tablature. It contains works by Domenico Bianchini , Pietro Paolo Borrono , Giovanni Maria da Crema (1492–1550), Simon Gintzler , Antonio Rotta , Francesco Canova da Milano and Alberto da Ripa .
