These musicians are excellent - they do everything so well - and the music delightful, but, here, the pursuit of "fun", sometimes leads them to a rather annoying "playfulness", which I don't like very much; I think it is not what this music is for - it verges on mere clowning. Now, everyone, let's go and listen to the Jaroussky thing above!
@Schutz111 this is a ciaconna, wich was a very famous bass pattern for do improvisations and ''glosas''. Ciaconna bassline it's some kind of standard. Composers only make the upper voices as they want.
@MehdiCapsI i actually know that you mentioned it in the video description, I was asking because I wanted more precisions about this. It should be called a hammered dulcimer, according to wikipedia. So I was wondering about the real name of this (amazing) instrument
@anisometropie Sorry, I had not seen that you were answering someone else's comment. This instrument does look like a hammered dulcimer (which is actually a 'tympanon'), but it is a psaltery ('psaltérion'). The psaltery can be played with the fingers, a plectrum, a bow or hammers (which makes it look like a 'tympanon'). As far as I know, the hammered dulcimer has nothing to do with Baroque music, while the psaltery has been played in Europe since the 12th century.
Does anyone know what group this is and where they are located? The acoustics of that venue are mind blowing! This is one of my favorite versions of chiac
It is too bad that the cornett was phased out of the music scene as the years progressed more towards a classical style and away from the baroque. I have heard that it difficult to play, but improvements should have been made like the chalumeaux to the clarinets. I am overjoyed though that it has found its place again for people who enjoy its truly unique sound!
this is awesome

but a ciaccona is supposed to be playful...it is, afterall, a dance.

@Schutz111 However, not all ciaconnas had the same bassline: look at chaconne by robert de visee and ciaconna del paradiso e del inferno.

superb. quite the most ravishing ciaccona. Gianluigi Trovesi has recorded - somewhere - a stunning brass band arrangment of this...AMAZING.

The cornett (zink) certainly has a beautiful sound and it is very difficult to understand why it almost became obsolete.
I believe the player is Doran Sherwin.
