A noble Neapolitan, Gesualdo, nicknamed Prince of Musicians, was a remarkable innovator and precursor of modern music, besides being the author of astounding polyphonic scores. On this occasion we propose a tribute to one of the greatest polyphonists and composers of sacred music of the time: Prince Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa. A characteristic that, especially referred to the creation of consorts, made all viols be often assigned to the performance of vocal polyphonic music, both as a double for the voice and as an exquisitely instrumental ensemble. Considering its timbre, viol was considered the instrument that was capable of imitating the human voice more than any other. Hence, we can say that the repertoire for viola da gamba practically includes all music that was written at the time. Renaissance composers did not write either for specific voices or for certain instruments, thus leaving extensive freedom of interpretation.
