But there's a life (and love) for the #violadamore even outside the (relative) niche of #Baroque music... Like the violin or viola, it's a #fretless instrument, which means that beyond the standards of #Western #music, it can easily play any mode or scale such as #Oriental ones. #Tunisian #musician and #musicologist Jasser Haj Youssef, for example, has "imported" the viola d'amore to the art of the #maqâm, using the sympathetic strings to create a richer, deeper sound:

Nevertheless, there is a nice #repertory for the #violadamore, including a number of #concertos by #Vivaldi:

...Instruments with sympathetic strings were popular in the #Baroque era, but failed to make it to the #classical instrumentarium as it became standardized. Maybe they were seen as too "folksy" (think #nyckelharpa); moreover, larger orchestras allowed composers to play with all the #harmonics they wanted simply by dispatching them to various sections, making the idea behind resonating strings largely redundant. #Quebec #violonist Hélène Plouffe presents the #violadamore:

Another day, another #forgotteninstrument... Meet the viola d'amore, similar to a #violin or #viola but with six to seven melodic #strings and, more importantly, a number of non-playable #sympathetic (resonating) metal strings which provide warm, lush and #drone-like #harmonics.

Continuing my introduction thread with my first album of my #chambermusic : Dichroic Light released in 2015. Includes music for #viola, #violadamore, #stringquartet #pianotrio, #bassclarinet and #electronics About half the works are acoustic the other with live electronics.

It was my first big project after my masters and is a large reason why I started looking properly into the economics of streaming.
