Hi everyone, A while ago I was corresponding with a lutenist who said, regarding the really large theorbos in Monteverdi:
‘I believe the really big ones were intended for playing bass lines - probably mostly single line, but ornamented in a way that was normal then but is considered a bit weird now - with some chords.’ Would anyone else have any thoughts on this? Any references? I’m using a large archlute with an organ for some Gabrieli, Croce, and Monteverdi and would love to try this. from sunny Singapore, Edward C.
