I long for the wedding

Another piece from the Straloch lute book, again in Wayne Cripps's transcription and my adaptation for the guitar. I nearly posted this for my stepson's wedding last month, but decided that it felt more like "I long for the wedding to be over..." Congratulations to Zach and Jenna, nevertheless.

Lovely, interesting tune, very well executed on the guitar, Richard 👏

Thank you, John. Many of these tunes from the lute books are rather unusual and interesting.

This piece creates a very dark moodfor a wedding tune. Well played nevertheless.

Thanks, Frithjof. It is rather similar in mood to I Long for Thy Virginitie (which I recorded recently), and I think perhaps the meaning is more or less the same - frustration at having to wait to get into bed with the beloved.
