	The Hutchins Consort
		The instruments are the first successful attempt to create an acoustically balanced set of instruments that can sound truly like violins across the entire range of written music.
		With instruments ranging from the tiny treble violin, tuned one octave above the standard violin, to the gigantic large bass violin, tuned one octave lower than a 'cello, the Hutchins Consort produces an astonishing pallet of sounds.
		Based in Southern California, the Hutchins Consort brings together a group of extraordinary virtuosi to tackle the challenge of adapting the techniques of traditional strings, as well as inventing new techniques, to master the instruments Dr. Hutchins created.

		The instrument originated in the early 16th century as a member of a whole family of instruments, of different sizes and with varying compasses, known as 'viole da braccio'.
		The instrument was from then held without the aid of the left hand, leaving it more free to execute fast passages and changes of position, while the fingers came down on the strings vertically, making double stopping possible.
		The original instruments were made in one piece, but modern copies are usually made in two pieces for convenience, often joined by a brass or wooden ring at the base of the head joint.

		``Consort'' is the term used for an ensemble of voices or instruments (or both) between about 1570 and 1720.
		These were bowed instruments similar to violins, violas and cellos, but they were held between the knees or upright on the player's leg.
		Dowland's most famous instrumental collection is (in modernized spelling) ``Lachrimae, or Seven Tears.'' It begins with a series of seven ``passionate pavans'' based on a four-note theme, and each pavan is an apt illustration of the word ``lachrymose.'' They are arranged for five viols and lute, quite a solemn sonority.

		Professor of Music Doyle Preheim, an avid Consort fan and one of the driving forces behind their special appearance on campus, said, "The Baltimore Consort is one of the premiere groups in early music performance and recording.
		Since much of the music performed by the Consort consists of popular tunes without designated rhythms, accompaniments or instrumentation, the group studies these factors, incorporating them into a historical reconstruction.
		Along with their meticulous approach to arranging historically accurate music, the Consort also places emphasis on highly virtuosic improvisation from soloists, as well as symphonic dialogue between instruments.

	Berkshire Recorder Consort
		In addition, this sound is relatively quiet compared to a piano and this, together with the lack of dynamic range, led to the virtual disappearance of the virginals, spinets and harpsichords in favour of the piano by the middle of the nineteenth century.
		Modern brass instruments are all considerably longer using valves or slides to control the pitch whereas the cornettist has to rely on a combination of lip control and finger holes.
		There is a range of similar Renaissance and baroque instruments that can be played together in a consort: a cornettino, the descant version; the cornett is the alto instrument; a tenor cornett or lizard and a bass cornett although more commonly the serpent was used.
