 Tobias Hume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tobias Hume (possibly 1569 - April 16, 1645) was an English composer, viol player and soldier.
Some have suggested that he was born in 1569 because of the fact that he was admitted to the London Charterhouse in 1629, a pre-requisite to which was being at least 60 years old, though there is no certainty over this.
Hume was also known as a prankster, as some of his somewhat unusual compositions illustrate.

 Composer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The instrument that Hume prefers is the so-called lyra-viol, or, at least, the technique of performing on a bass viol in the lyra-way, as the title of Playford’s 1682 publication suggests: Musick’s Recreation on the Viol, Lyra-way.
If the bow was not used, it was possible to use the lyra-viol as a plucked instrument, and the practice of plucking an open string with the left hand, while bowing with the right, as on the later baryton, was used.
Hume’s publication of 1605 is a very early source for the practice of plucking the strings and for the use of the wood of the bow in col legno, although he makes no use of the later practice of the thump, the plucking of a string with the left hand while bowing.

 [No title]
Tobias Hume was an english violist and composer who was born around 1569 and he died the 16th of April 1645 in London.
Hume's main innovations lay in the fact that he transferred known lute and bandora repetory to the viola da gamba and that he was the first to publish music for solo viola da gamba (lyra viol) as well as for several violas da gamba.
In the second volume Hume publishes a hunting song for a bass viol in alternation with a solo voice, which according to Hume was sung before two Kings, to the admiring of all brave Huntsmen.

 HOASM: Tobias Hume
Tobias Hume entrusted the manuscript of his first opus ( Musicall Humors of 1605, the Poeticall Musicke of 1607 is entirely devoted to ensemble music) to John Windet, who by that time had probably become a specialist in this delicate typography, since Greaves, Jones and Dowland, before Hume, had already resorted to his printing- presses.
For all his invocations and his skill Hume could not change the nature of the viol: the instrument was not cut out for the light counterpoint of its rival.
Soldier by profession, mercenary out of necessity, dying poor and nearly insane at the Charterhouse Hospital, Tobias Hume was a musician of great merit, and one of the most important gamba players of his time.

Hume was a professional soldier who served as an officer in the Swedish and Russian armies.
We have little trace of the details of Hume’s life, but his greatest claim to fame is the publication of The First Book of Ayres in 1605 and subsequent publishing of Captaine Humes Poeticall Musicke in 1607.
The majority of these pieces are in tablature; 35 pieces are in staff notation (or as he describes it “Pricke-song”) using bass or baritone clef; 5 songs with viol accompaniment; 8 pieces for 2 and 3 viols and 1 invention for 2 to play on one viol.

 AMARCORDES - Hume
Hume's addresses to the reader herald a new vigour that the 17th-century pamphleteers were to bring to English prose; his claim for the viol as a worthy rival to the lute as a solo, an ensemble and a continuo instrument, was an accurate forecast of change in English musical taste.
All of Hume's known compositions are contained in his First Part of Ayres (1605) and Captaine Humes Poeticall Musicke (1607), the former constituting the largest repertory of solo music for the lyra viol by a single composer in the early 17th century.
Hume's First Part of Ayres contains what may be the earliest examples of pizzicato: ‘play one straine with your fingers, the other with your Bow’, ‘to be plaide with your fingers … your Bow ever in your hand’ and col legno: ‘Drum this with the back of your Bow’.

True, Tobias Hume has been recorded by various artists in the last few years (Paolo Pandolfo, Miriam Morris, Les Voix Humaines) but little other music of this genre has been available.
Interspersed are a few pieces in normal tuning by Tobias Hume, and a few anonymous pieces from John Merro’s books, Oxford.
Tobias Hume is represented on the CD by The Spirite of Musicke, which is in Bandora Set like the Ford pieces, and two works in bass viol tuning: The Duke of Holstones delight and Touch me sweetely.

 Tobias HUME A Souldiers Resolution [KM]: Classical Reviews- October 2001 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hume's works can sound as if they are being improvised, and the violist needs to express this spontaneity.
Morris' performance of this piece is magnificent - one can hear the subtle energy of the music, the beautiful tone of the instrument, and her mastery of the liberty that this piece, with its haunting melodies woven into unique textures, allows the performer.
While I feel that Jordi Savall's recording of Hume's solo viol works is arguably the best early music disc ever recorded, and cannot say that Morris' performance outshines it, this recording is certainly a fine one, and one that anyone who has discovered Hume's music must absolutely listen to.

 Dowland Vs Hume - ZEN403
Tobias Hume’s championing the cause of the viol as a worthy rival to the lute in his publication of 1605 provoked its foremost advocate, lutenist-composer John Dowland to publish a belated response in the preface to his last book of airs, A Pilgrime’s Solace of 1612.
Hume’s Muscall Humors’ was printed in London by John Windet who was already well versed in the typography of tablature and pricke-song, having previously been employed by lutenist John Dowland, Robert Jones and Thomas Greave.
Hume’s collection, the majority of which is written in tablature, is read in the same fashion as the lutenists’ compositions.

Although David Hume (1711—76) is often considered the greatest philosopher that Britain has ever produced, in his own day he was just as famous for his history as for his philosophy.
Hume’s chief historical masterpiece, The History of England, appeared in four instalments between 1754 and 1762.

Captain Tobias Hume was long an obscure, little-known English composer from the 17th century.
Hume’s music bridges the gap between the Elizabethan and the later music of the 17th century, recalling both the earlier sound and hinting at what was to come.
While the balance between the two is not perfect, this long (more than nine minute) song is a plaintive lament that expresses all the despair with which Hume’s music is often replete.

John Dowland, John Johnson, Giles Farnaby, and Tobias Hume are represented, along with William Byrd, whose notable harpsichord piece, The Bells, exploits the instrument's natural ringing tonal characteristics, juiced up with cascading runs and rapidly layered chords.
Hume’s Deth and Life is a viol highlight, and Lynda Sayce’s lute solos are all wonderful.
