Hi all! > An archlute would be very appropriate, and fine. From all accounts,, > anything could have been used, including archlutes, theorbi, baroque > guitars, battente, guitars, gambi, etc.
Really? Last sunday I played archlute continuo for Schutz' Musikalische Exequien with a baroque guitarist. It worked fine, but I have never seeen any evidence that all kinds of different continuo instruments were used in baroque church music. If would love to know what your sources are! mvh Are Vidar Hansen To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
