The viol, also known as viola da gamba, is a bowed string instrument that was popular during the Baroque period. It has a fretted neck and six or seven strings, and is played with a bow. The viol was often used in chamber music and as a basso continuo instrument, meaning that it played a supporting role in accompanying melodies played by other instruments.
One of the most outstanding viol masters in music history is Marin Marais, a French baroque composer and gamba player. Marais was a prominent member of the French court, alongside Jean-Baptiste Lully, and served as a musician for King Louis XIV. He is best known for his compositions for viol, which include a number of baroque sonatas and follies. His most famous work is his five-volume collection of viol music called "Pièces de viole."
This playlist includes several pieces de viole in the form of chaconne, a chord progression that serves as the basis for a series of variations. It also features a deep viol basso continuo - bass lines that provide the harmonic structure for the piece. The chaconne and the basso continuo are often used together. Beside viols, theorbos - long-necked lutes - baroque cello and other string period instruments were also less prominent as solo instruments at the time and mostly used as a continuo instruments in ensemble works. Nevertheless, we’ve included the rare Marais’ viola da gamba solo pieces in this playlist
The playlist is accompanied by the most enigmatic piece of early renaissance Netherlands art - Hieronymus Bosch’s garden triptych. The Garden of Earthly Delights is a unique whimsical hellscape with countless religious symbolism elements, such as Eden, the end of the world and the last judgment. The enthralling Bosch triptych is a mysterious piece of symbolism art that will take you to the surreal land of sinful pleasures.
The classical music playlist can serve as background music for studying and working or as relaxing music for pleasure. It can also be enjoyed as a standalone audiovisual experience.
