A good example of baroque bowing can be seen in the extended passage of repeated notes: the musicians play these notes on one bow—the shorter & lighter baroque bow--to created a gliding effect. The players also hold the bow very differently which affects the balance and touch. The organ used is made entirely of wood, based on German baroque instruments, and the pipes are voiced to provide a smooth accompaniment to the strings, rather than the more modern, soloistic sound. The large bass lute, or theorbo, provides a complement to the organ not only in the texture of the <b>...</b>
