about

This saraband is another dance taken from the 1674 manuscript I spent so much time studying and recording in 2021. Likely originating from somewhere near Berlin, the manuscript is a hodgepodge music ranging from hymns to ballet, sourced from across the courts of Europe. This particular saraband has stuck with me because of the sense of emptiness it stirs, something akin to mourning in private. For me the feeling of bittersweet melancholy foresees Bach's somber sarabands in the 2nd and 5th cello suites, written about a half century later. Whoever wrote this music certainly understood how to play the viol, taking full advantage of its plaintive nature.
