	John Dowland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It includes several books of solo lute works, lute songs (for one voice and lute), part-songs with lute accompaniment, and several pieces for viol consort with lute.
		He wrote a consort piece with the punning title Semper Dowland, semper dolens (always Dowland, always doleful), which may be said to sum up much of his work.
		Dowland's song, Come Heavy Sleepe, the Image of True Death, was the inspiration for Benjamin Britten's Nocturnal after John Dowland for guitar, written in 1964 for the guitarist Julian Bream.

	The Cipher for Viola da Gamba (and 6 course Lute) @TheCipher.com
		Viols (short for viola da gamba) were popular in Europe, the dominant form of bowed string instrument, for approximately 250 years, roughly 1480 to 1780 in total (so shave 25 years off both ends to represent a fast ascend at the beginning and a fast decline at the end).
		Most recently, is an imagined dialogue between a viol and cello, written by Paolo Pandolfo (modern day viola da gamba virtuoso) for the liner notes of one of his CD recordings -- being an adaptation of Bach’s six cello suites played on solo bass viola da gamba (aka bowed guitar).
		Viols were played by common folk and professionals alike, in homes, taverns, churches, and palaces, and they dominated much of European music, string music in particular, popular and formal from the very early 1500s through the mid 1700s.

	MHN Instrument Encyclopedia
		Literally Italian for Òleg viol,Ó the name refers to the position in which this six-stringed instrument is held when it is played with a bow: downwards in the lap, or between the legs.
		Sometimes they were joined by other instruments, such as flutes, trombones, or lutes, making what was known as a Òmixed consort.Ó Because the player bows across the instrument rather than up and down, as on the violin, it is difficult to accentuate certain beats, so the viol is not especially suited to dance music.
		Not only did the English court utilize the viol, it was also a fixture in every well-to-do Elizabethan home, and many amateurs played the instrument for their personal enjoyment.

	Sir Francis Drake and Music
		I became interested in Sir Francis Drake because it was mentioned to me that he carried a viol consort on board his ship during his voyage around the world.
		He had her commission or, at any rate, an imposing parchment which at appropriate times he flourished, declaring that it was his brief of authority given by the sovereign.
		It was fitting, then, that he should have fine furniture in his cabin and silver dishes to eat from, musicians to play trumpets and viols during the long days of sailing.

	CD Baby: RANDY SANDKE: Trumpet After Dark
		Randy Sandke (trumpet); Bill Charlap (piano); Greg Cohen (bass); Dennis Mackrel (drums) with the Parthenia Viol Consort: Rosamund Morley (treble viol); Beverly Au (treble and Bass viol); Lawrence Lipnik (tenor viol); Lisa Terry (treble and bass viol)
		With some notable exceptions, jazz and strings has too often been synonymous with "sweetening" or diluting the music to appeal to a broader audience.
		But Randy Sandke, through his use of a string section comprised of viols, as well as his always trenchant writing and commanding trumpet technique, breathes new life into the "jazz-with-strings" concept.
