Viennese music with viols

Music with one or more viols from the Imperial court at Vienna in the 17th and 18th century. By Marc Strümper.

Marc Strümper, during his researches on the viola da gamba at Vienna, discovered a great number of viol music in sacred, stage and chamber repertoire, both vocal and instrumental, and copied it in modern notation. This extensive collection comprehensively documents the use of the viola da gamba at the imperial court and completes the picture with examples from its repertoire marginally related to Viennese musical life. It also includes some music with baryton and some with a generic viola or violetta, names that could sometimes be understood to mean viola da gamba.
Here, by Violanet, these transcriptions – part of Strümper’s dissertation at University of Vienna in 2001 – are made accessible for the first time, while the research has been published:
