 Venere Lute Quartet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Large numbers of lutenists (up to about 30) are known to have performed together in elaborate dramatic works, including the intermedi of the late sixteenth century and the Italian operas of the early seventeenth century.
Composers such as Claudio Monteverdi and Agostino Agazzari used ensembles of lutes as the core of their “continuo bands” in the earliest Baroque operas.
Whereas Italian lutenists in these operas realized an improvised part from the bass (“basso continuo”) to accompany singers, the lutenists in English masques were more likely to play from parts both in lute tablature and in staff notation, although they, too, surely improvised and added ornamentation.
