  • this is awesome

  • @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.

  • @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 I have mentioned it in the video description: Margit Übellacker, psaltery.

  • Hammered dulcimer or psaltery ?

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

  • @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.

  • @JoelvanLennep

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

  • 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!

  • I am confused... this music is identical to Monteverdi's Zefiro torna !!! Did one copu the other ?
