	Viol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The viol (also called viola da gamba) is any one of a family of bowed, fretted stringed musical instruments developed in the 1400s and used primarily in the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
		One of the earliest illustrations of viols is in an altarpiece by Lorenzo Costa, in the church of San Giovanni in Monte in Bologna.
		Also, the viol is regarded as a suitable instrument for adult learners; Percy Scholes wrote that the viol repertoire "belongs to an age that demanded musicianship more often than virtuosity".

	Phantasm: Music for the King's Pleasure
		Viols are characterized by six strings, flat backs, C-holes rather than F-holes, sloping necks, moveable frets on the neck of the instrument, and a bow held underhand a finger resting on the hair with the main stroke pushing from the tip of the bow rather than from the frog, as on a violin or cello.
		Viols were always held between the legs, even the smallest treble viol, which is why the family was referred to in Italy as leg-viols (viole da gamba) rather than arm-viols (viole da braccio), the latter name referring to the violin-type instruments.
		The modern double bass is commonly in the shape of a viol, and is the one remnant of the viol family found in the contemporary symphony orchestra.

	The Viol da Gamba
		Of the common sizes of the gamba family, the bass was the largest, and the treble viol was the smallest.
		The viol has the shape of a dismembered female body, and when held between the legs in playing position, as in the case of the bass viol, a type of play may be imagined that is not strictly musical.
		The viol, as the lute, was cultivated among courtly society by gentlemen amateurs.

		Patrice, recognizing that the tenor viol is sometimes neglected in duet literature, has here transposed 10 excellent pieces which should please tenor aficionados greatly.
		Viol players pay too little attention to vocal music, perhaps because so little is easily available in congenial format, so I hope this achieves wide circulation.
		Connelly indicates in her notes that the second part could, in the absence of a second tenor player, be performed on bass viol.

	The Viol family
		The viol played on the lap was known in Europe as early as the 11th century, and is pictured in the art of the time.
		The viols were used so much by court musicians throughout Europe, that it was explained that the viol was played by genlemen, merchants and other men of virture, while the violin was played in the streets to accompany dances or to lead wedding processions.
		Viols were popular in England long after they had been replaced by the violin on the Continent.

		The bass viol in customary use according to Ganassi, then, is tuned a fourth lower (and therefore in A) than the previously discussed instruments, and as a result, players fingered the notes a fourth higher on those instruments, to obtain the pitches desired, than they would have on the smaller instruments.
		Cerone's tenor viol, as one might expect, is pitched between these two other sizes, and tuned in D (corresponding to the bass viol as we know it), with an upper range to a' (the seventh fret).
		On a D bass viol the music lies at least one string, and in some cases two strings, lower (for example, the note A is the open third string on the G violone, while it is a fingered note on the fifth string on the bass viol).

		The violone, the double bass of the family, was used in orchestral situations to double the cello or bass viol line.
		The Division Viol was again a solo instrument specifically designed to be easier to play fast passage work by keeping the instrument smaller than the consort bass.

	The Cipher for Viola da Gamba (and 6 course Lute) @TheCipher.com
		The alto or treble viol is held essentially horizontally, but on the arm nevertheless, and pressed into the right shoulder.
		This festoon or baroque shape appears frequently after around 1560 (see the viols in Paolo Veronese’s painting Dinner at Cana, and in the Gilling Castle frieze viols, and in the Hardwick Hall, Eglatine Table viol, England, 1567) and continuing in the northern European countries throughout the 1600s, all sizes of viols, and many still survive.
		Note that these two instruments, bass viol (or tenor) and treble viol, two of six players seen in the full freize, being members of an Elizabethan English mixed consort, have the exact same body contours and decoration.

		The vitality and interpretive skill they put into what is often considered one of Bach's "dry" works is exceptional, I was capitivated by the entire performance.

		The uniformity of the sound is a perfect palette for presenting the individuality of the melodic lines and the nuances of the counterpoint.

		The lutes most commonly encountered today are the 8-course tenor lute in g for solo performance of Renaissance works, the archlute for solo performance of Baroque works, and the archlute and theorbo for continuo parts in Baroque ensembles.
		A 6-course Renaissance tenor lute would be tuned to the same intervals as a tenor viol, with intervals of a perfect fourth between all the courses except the 3rd and 4th, which differed only by a major third.
		The tenor lute was usually tuned "in g", named after the pitch of the highest course, yielding the pattern [(G'G) (Cc) (FF) (AA) (dd) (g)] from the lowest course to the highest.
