Sidney Beck
Sidney Beck (September 2 1906 – April 7 2001)[1] was an American[1] lutenist and musicologist who was among those principally responsible for reviving the English broken consort. He made the a number of modern editions of this music and had a professional consort in New York State.
Beck was born in Brattleboro, Vermont, and died in New York.[1]
Some of the music in Thomas Morley's Consort Lessons is incomplete so there was some considerable reconstruction / recomposition to be done.
