The delicate lute tone charmed 16th- and 17th-century listeners by its simple acoustic beauty. The gentle plucked notes could affect the mood, altering one's emotional state. Kirchhof suggests that such potential made music invaluable to witches and alchemists, who were held in high regard in the irrational centuries before the Age of Enlightenment. This theory enables Kirchhof to make an eclectic selection of 30 short pieces covering 200 years and four different lutes--renaissance lute, vihuela, baroque lute, and theorbo. He does not claim that any of the items were actually put to any alchemical or satanic use, but he does not need to. The Presto and Galanterie by S. L. Weiss speak for themselves. Dufaut's Suite in A minor might not otherwise have reached the public; Hagen's Sonata in C minor would have remained obscure; and Holborne's The Fairy Round Galliard waited in vain for the revival of alchemy as a science. An eccentric disc all-round. --Rick Jones ## Images ![Lute Music for Witches and Alchemists / Lutz Kirchhof - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xstCho3LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, Stately Music By A Master *by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2003* Sorry folks, but the title of this CD might be a bit misleading. You will not hear Halloween sound effects, or "A Night on Bald Mountain" Disney-style. Instead you will be treated to meditative music based on the theories of Ficino, Agrippa, and others. Kirchof does us all a favor by fleshing out what has previously been locked away in archives and rare publications and allowing us to hear each composition as it was originally meant to be heard. A good book to buy with this CD would be D.P. Walker's classic Spiritual and Demonic [as in Socrates' daemon, not the kind from the uh-oh place] Magic (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2000). This music is meant to heal and not to hurt; meant to uplift and enlighten the mind and not to drown it in darkness. And besides all that folks, it's just plain pleasant to drink wine and eat cheese to. In addition, Lute Music For Witches and Alchemists has great liner notes that give the low-down on each Hermetic ditty. M & M it's not, thank Plato, Plotinus. Ficino, and the stars! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ahah! I found you, my precious!! *by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2006* I am sorry that the 11-year-old child found this sad music!!That is truly within the realm of Herr/Herra Parent to educate the child that there is quite a universe of music that is out there.The reason I call this 'My Precious', is that I had lost a lot in Hurricane Katrina, including my music library, which i am still slowly rebuilding, thank the Goddess!!I owned this CD when it became released, and found it to be a collection of music that is most suited for comtemplative study, note-taking, journalling, writing memoirs with tea/coffee/mead/or aperitif. For me, it is also good music to use when busy scripting in my book-of-shadows, or rhyming wordings to be used later for some good works, by tensor light if not by candle.As one who has self-taught guitar and medieval instruments, i appreciate the talent behind, and the hard work to play this collection.I will place this among my 'workings' collection, once i receive it ... although not quick enough! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the romance and charm of early Europe. *by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015* Yes I'm weird to look for, buy and listen to such recondite music. I can't help but love Lute music and the romance and charm of those early centuries in Europe. When you spin this disc, light a candle, pour some wine and take yourself (and maybe a friend) out of this hectic world and back into a time when a lutenist or guitarist was the orchestra for a kings court. You will be the ONLY guest at the table who can wax poetically about 15th century Italian lute music...unless I'm seated next to you! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1627150-lute-music-for-witches-and-alchemists-lutz-kirchhof](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1627150-lute-music-for-witches-and-alchemists-lutz-kirchhof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
