The Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1529 had a profound effect on music which is still felt today. Not only did the military music bring percussion into the orchestra, but the classical and folk music inspired much of the composition for lute. It would not be unreasonable to think that someone like Kapsberger might have heard the echo of that 100 years later.
@@shiningarmor2838 It's a thankworty respond for me. I had know the effects of Ottomans' army band on classical music in Europe but I had not enough info about Kapsberger and her music career because you know more famous composers are introduced in schools or books :) Greetings from Sivas province located on central anatolia of Turkey!
Interesting to see a 4-string Colascione, until now I just saw 2-string, 3-string and 6-strings Colasciones. Another hint that our musical fathers liked to experiment with different instrument models. It actually reminds me of the story of one of the venetian Violonists in the orchestra of the Doge. He was obliged to learn any bass instrument but couldn't afford them. So the Doge, who must have been very found of a profound bass, granted him to pay for his instruments. In the sellary lists you can even find that the Violonist earned one of the highest sellaries of the orchestra.
Da gusto ver a los jóvenes laborar y disfrutar con los usos de antaño, la música; y que hoy si está al alcance general. Vale tanto, como la propia música, en estos tiempos.
I want to know the name of your members. I also very curious to know the name of that four string bass like instrument the guy in the middle plays. Grazie!
@@simonevallerotonda Oh, sorry. I listen while relaxing in the couch, occasionally reading the text. I missed the credits, as there was just silence. Thank you all for the beautiful performance! Sound like silver to my ears!
A simple chord progression and melody that reverberates through the centuries. I hear The Who’s Baba O’Riley. I hear Pink Floyd. Music of no time and place but of the universal human spirit. It will always manifest.
The colascione was developed from Arabic long-necked lutes and still plays with this heritage. Depending on the tuning and amount it is an instrument that is easy to learn. Historical instruments have 2-6 single strings (no courses) and especially the six-stringed colascione has the same tuning as a modern classical guitar just one octave lower (16' instead of an 8').
