Notes & Reviews:

The gentle melancholy which underlies the sound of the viola da gamba made it the instrument par excellence in 17th century England. Sadness was the prevailing tone in compositions of the period, as can be heard not only in many of the song texts but also in the stately beauty of instrumental works like the 'Pavins'. Fortunately, not all of the music of this period is gloomy of melancholy.
