The European lute, probably the most popular ensemble and solo chamber instrument of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and the early Baroque era, derives its name and origin from the Arabic "oud". The first advanced music school was in Cordoba, Spain; the Islamic being the most advanced civilization of that time, it was natural that their instrument would promulgate throughout the region. The word "lute" is an anglicized version of it's precursor: "al oud" (Arabic), ----> "laud" (Spanish) ----> and "lute" (English).
