Catalogue of Solo and Chamber Music for Viola da Gamba

Hume, Tobias

Captain Hume's Poeticall Musicke principally made for two Basse-Viols, yet so contrived, that it may be played 8 severall waies upon sundry Instruments with much facilitie
1 The first way or musicke is for one Basse-Viole to play alone in parts, which standeth alwaies on the right side of this Booke.
2 The second musicke is for two Basse-viols to play together.
3 The third musicke, for three Basse-Viols to play together.
4 The fourth musicke, for two Tenor Viols and a Basse-Viole.
5 The fift musicke, for two Lutes and a Basse-Viole.
6 The sixt musicke, for two Orpherions and a Basse-Viole.
7 The seventh musicke, to use the voyce to some of these musicks, but especially to the three Basse Viols, or to the two Orpherions with one Basse-Viole to play the ground.
8 The eight and last musicke, is consorting all these instruments together with the Virginals, or rather with a winde Instrument and the voice.
