Jordy Savall & Juilliard 415\u00a0 – Alice Tully Hall\u00a0 –\u00a0 January 26, 2013<\/p>\n
Savall is the hero of the early music movement – rescuing, retrieving, and putting again to life the written music of pre-Bach times.\u00a0 Many of these pieces are associated with equally obscure\/obsolete dance styles.\u00a0 His instrument is the viol da gamba, a six-stringed jobber intermediate in size between a viola and a cello.\u00a0\u00a0 It is held like a cello and bowed.\u00a0 Yang is also playing one – part of the viol “consort” portion of the ensemble.\u00a0 There is much that I don’t understand. \u00a0 Many of the students of the Juilliard 415 troupe also played early-music instruments that one would be hard pressed to identify or recognize.\u00a0 Fun trivia fact: the predecessor of the trombone was called a “sackbut”.\u00a0 Thus, we also have a student (Payne) plucking the theorbo (I didn’t see any strumming); the topmost strings (that is, closest to his head), I guess for drone or resonance, since they did not appear to receive any direct action.<\/p>\n
