Vaghe Belleze is an abbreviated title for the first piece in a series of six lute pieces transcribed for guitar by Oscar Chilesotti - an Italian law student turned musicologist. I actually played the entire set of six pieces as part of my first year undergraduate end-of-year recital. The pieces are beautiful and this one in my mind has the most memorable melody.

Here are the names of all six pieces in the collection:

• Vaghe belleze et bionde treccie d'oro vedi che per ti moro
• Bianco fiore
• Danza
• Gagliarda
• Se io m'accorgo
• Saltarello

Let your fingers fly!
