Concert 5: Romina Lischka - Captain Hume's Viol
Viola da Gamba solo
Tobias Hume and William Lawes were two colorful figures from the early Baroque period who combined music and military life. Hume, a Scottish composer and gamba player, served in various European armies and incorporated his military experiences into his music - he is also considered the earliest known user of the col legno technique. Lawes gained fame as a virtuoso on the lyra viol and innovator in instrumental music, but was killed in 1645 during the Engelse Burgeroorlog - a loss that King Charles I mourned with the honorary title 'Father of Music'
