Classical Music | Baroque Music for Lute, Plucked String Instrument (virtual)


Lutenist Richard Kolb presents "10-course lute", a program of works by Robert Ballard and Michelangelo Galilei. About the Composers Robert Ballard (c.1572 - c.1650) was the most famous French lutenist of the first decades of the 17th century, and an important pioneer in the development of French Baroque musical style. Ballard's Italian contemporary Michelangelo Galilei (c.1575 - c.1640) spent much of his career at the musically cosmopolitan courts of Poland and Bavaria. While he was heavily influenced by French lute style, his music retains much of the harmonic intensity and rhythmic drive favored by Italian lutenists.
