Great performance and very interesting - especially the lyrics which seem to
have been culled from different parts of the canon.
A bit of a non-sequitur but how common was it for the viola da gamba to
pluck rather than bow the bass line? What is the evidence is there....is
there any?

Subject: [LUTE] A Christmas Contrafactum
One of the interesting features of Early Music is the way in which
material was recycled. When I first saw the Contrafactum for
Monteverdi's Chiome d'oro (for Easter), I remember wishing there was
one for Christmas. But then I figured, how hard could it be to write a
Latin version? Pretty hard, as it turns out, so I had a friend help. dt
