Diego Ortiz (1510-1570) - Passamezzo Antico
Performed by Jerry Fuller, violone; Neal Richardson, virginal and Jeff Noonan, theorbo
Spanish composer Diego Ortiz worked form 1555 to 1570 at the vice-regal court of the Duke of Alba in Naples. His treatise on viol playing is an astounding source of Renaissance ornamentation and improvisational practice. His techniques led to the English divisions on a ground and the improvisatory viola bastarda style.
