Viol Music of Schenck

Johan Schenck, renowned gamba virtuoso, born in Amsterdam and later enjoyed a career in the Duesseldorf

court. His music is testimony of the transitional style of the 17th century. In this program we start with music

for two viols by Scottish composer Hume, then go to various composers from the Goëss manuscripts, and via

music for two viols and continuo by Marais we arrive at the corpus of compositions by Schenck.
