Synopsis

Product Description
The Manchester Gamba Book is the largest extant manuscript of 17th century
viol music, now kept in the Watson music collection in Manchester. Different in
many regards from the later cello, the secrets of viola da gamba performance
style are revealed in this priceless volume, including Gervise Gerrarde's Paven, the most richly ornamented piece in the instrument's literature. Other
contributions include settings of popular English songs of the period, and from
otherwise unknown musicians such as Stephen Goodall and Richard Sumarte.
