How strange the tone of these old istruments"
-
men must have been half crickets when this music satisfied them! Applied to well-known persons livi"
-
Applied to well-known persons living in the Golden Age of the noble
-
viola da gamba family, such as Queen Elzabeth I, the pirate Sir
-
Francis Drake and the ruffian Essex, the term 'crickets' is
-
intriguing. but they did love viols.
-
In the opinion of many in today`s musical world there would be no
-
need for viols. The instrument is regarded as a - slightly
-
contemptible - would-be cello. Which is what it was, and should be,
-
least of all. So why not get the instrument`s own sory, together with
-
what Elizabethan courtiers and European contemporaries thought about
-
it?
-
This book is a compendium and a practical guide for musicians and
-
music lovers alike, putting a great many problems and questions
-
relating to the viol, and music in general, into perspective. There
-
is ample material concerning such topics as the great gamba players,
-
the history of viol construction including regional developments,
-
the musical role of viols, reconstructions and forgeries, and the
-
practical aspects of viol playing.
