From Lute to Uke — Early Music for Ukulele
From Lute to Uke — Early Music for Ukulele
Arranged by Tony Mizen
Available at your favorite ukulele source, UKE Republic — family-owned and trusted since 2007.
If you’ve ever wondered how early music would sound on a modern ukulele, Tony Mizen answers that question beautifully. From Lute to Uke brings 24 pieces of Renaissance and Baroque lute music into the ukulele world with arrangements that feel natural, expressive, and surprisingly at home on GCEA tuning.
Mizen — both a classical guitarist and ukulele specialist — treats the material with respect and clarity. Each piece includes standard notation and ukulele TAB, along with online audio recordings performed by Mizen himself. The recordings alone are worth the listen; the playing is clean, warm, and musically thoughtful.
The book also includes:
- A short, accessible history of the lute
- Background on each piece
- Practical playing suggestions
- Cleanly formatted notation that’s friendly for advancing players
Perfect for uke players looking to stretch into new territory, add sophistication to their repertoire, or explore early music without needing a conservatory background.
A Jumpin’ Jim’s Ukulele Songbook — and a high-quality one at that.
