Question
Vladimir Vavilov wrote a Canzona for this instrument and attributed it to the celebrated virtuoso Francesco da Milano. The piece “Il Conte Orlando” was written for this instrument by Simone Molinaro. A piece for this instrument that opens [read slowly] D, F-sharp, A, E, G, E, which was written by Vincenzo Galilei, is among those transcribed in Ottorino Respighi’s collection (*) Ancient Airs and Dances. The theorbo differs from this instrument only in its extended neck and second pegbox. This instrument, which was more commonly used as a basso continuo for secular music than as a solo instrument, accompanies songs like “I Saw My Lady Weep” and “Flow My Tears” by John Dowland. For 10 points, song accompaniment in the Renaissance and Baroque eras was often provided by what plucked string instrument with a rounded back? ■END■
