This video is the thirty-second in a series of original solo guitar arrangements of early jazz standards. At present, I intend to post one a week and then collect the individual videos into one long video of an hour's length or so. I hope to continue that process indefinitely.
Update: I have unfortunately injured a tendon in my left arm and cannot presently play any plucked instrument. I hope to resume the project when I am able to play again.
In the meantime, I have created a playlist of the thirty-two pieces done so far, which you can find here: youtube.com/watch?v=DQdPs8QnM1g&list=PLg2GtsZ0EeLv-wYKgCSpdeLOLRYV9XJfC.

![Renaissance Lute: Polish Dances from the Danzig Lute Book (1621) Part Two
The Danzig Lute Book, published in Gdansk, Poland in 1621, contains forty-four Polish Dances (Balleti Polachi), which I intend to present in four videos of eleven pieces each. For this series, I am playing from Sarge Gerbodes wonderful edition of this manuscript. The present video offers Polish Dances twelve to twenty-two. ( Please note that the numbers of these dances refer simply to their order of appearance on Sarges website [lutemusic.org], not to their order in the original manuscript.)
Those of you who listen to my recordings regularly know that I generally illustrate them with works of art. Since I have had trouble finding paintings of Polish dances, I have chosen to illustrate these four videos with paintings of the city of Gdansk (by the way, Danzig was the name of Gdansk when it belonged to Prussia or Germany).
