III: The Middle and Late Baroque
c.1630-1750
The transcriptions in this third volume span the Middle
Baroque (c.1630-1670) and Late Baroque (c.1670-1750)
periods. During the decade of the 1630’s a new,
‘integrated’ style of performance and notation
evolved in which the Renaissance plucking technique and
the Early Baroque strumming technique were combined.
Composers favored dance music (often grouped together in
suites) and produced many large-scale, elaborate
variations built on ground bass progressions as well. The
instrument rode a wave of popularity during the
seventeenth century, fueled by the interest of powerful
European monarchs like Louis XIV of France; and then fell
into declined in the first half of the eighteenth century
as publications waned and tastes changed. Please email me
