In Venice, in 1535, Silvestro Ganassi published a detailed book on how to play the recorder. In 1542, following the success of the first book, Ganassi publishee a tutor for the Viola d’arco, an instrument so new that the luthiers had not yet agreed on its shape. In this "Regola Rubertina" and its sequel, "Lettione Seconda," he showed aspiring Viola d’arco players everything they needed, from how to hold the instrument and how to tune the strings and frets, to which instruments form a consort, or how to arrange polyphony or compose a ricercar.
In Basel in 2026, viols combine with lutes and flutes in music by the masters Josquin, Willaert, Verdelot, and more.
ReRenaissance is a globally unique concert series that focuses on music and Renaissance culture. "A Renaissance of the Renaissance," brought to life by professional musicians from Basel.
The concert is free, but there will be a collection.
