Here are 48 lute compositions from the Renaissance by Antonio Rotta, (1495-1549) who was an Italian lutenist, composer and music teacher of the Renaissance period in Padua which was part of the Republic of Venice and renowned for its university. Canon Scardeonius of Padua wrote in 1560 that Rotta was not only virtually unrivaled in Italy as a lutenist, but was also an excellent teacher and had grown quite rich by giving lessons on the lute.
