Michel Godard: Monteverdi " A trace of Grace" with Fanny Paccoud (violin) Bruno Helstroffer (theorbo) Gavino Murgia (voice) Michel Godard (serpent, bass guitar) . Live in Fürth "Passagen" for BR Klassik on May 7th 2016
I've often heard that the serpent was an antiquated out of tune instrument, but this guy proves that for every "bad" instrument, there's some freak that makes it amazing. Very well done
It's already unusual enough to have a lute playing together with an electric bass guitar, and then you add a serpent in the mix. But the result is very interesting and well-executed. Plus, it must take an extraordinary amount of skill and talent to play the serpent that well; I've only ever heard one or two other people who can actually play anything resembling music on it.
This is quite beautiful! Ive never heard of the serpent instrument, nor heard it played. But its quite mesmerizing. One question i have: Who is playing the bass line after the musician puts it down to play the serpent? It just continues on seamlessly. Perhaps a sample machine just continues it?
Hello everyone.. I love this man's music .. But as it happened I was looking after someone's dog .. And this. One was distressed .. So I played some of this music.. As an experiment maybe the dog liked the low tones as much as I did.... Not being phesetious.... But it seemed to calm her as much as me.. Please have a good end of 2020... Love to all.. And love your response.. And please forgive me for the spellings.
