| | Figured bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Basso continuo parts, almost universal in the Baroque era (1600-1750), were, as the name implies, played continuously throughout a piece, providing the harmonic structure of the music. | | | A part notated with figured bass consists of a bass-line notated with notes on a musical staff plus added numbers and accidentals beneath the staff to indicate at what intervals above the bass notes should be played, and therefore which inversions of which chords are to be played. | | | In addition to this, however, for those parts of the music during which that choir rested was presented a single line consisting of the lowest note being sung at any given time, which could be in any vocal part. |

| | What is basso continuo? |
| | The 1960s vintage notion that continuo consists of harpsichord and cello is derived from C.P.E. Bach's expressed preference for that combination in chamber music in about 1762, which may be of dubious value for music earlier than that. | | | Its predecessors could be said to include such things as songs with written-out lute accompaniment (which likely can trace their origins in turn to songs with improvised accompaniment) and organists assisting singers in liturgical performances. | | | In addition to the chordal instrument(s), melody instruments (cello, bassoon) can play the bass line, although this is not necessary and is less common in earlier music. |

| | Climate Music - Continuo |
| | Continuo takes this instantly recognizable classic and places it into new musical contexts of ambient, new age and world music. | | | Continuo's wild and inventive set of meditations has an almost dreamlike quality to it, as if following the musical thoughts of someone who's drifting off to sleep... | | | In addition to its musical meaning, Continuo is a name that alludes, Friedberg says, to the space-time continuum. |

| | The OPUS 3 Continuo is the result of a lifetime's dedication to research and development in recording and reproducing the sound and atmosphere of natural, acoustic music and instruments. | | | At Opus3 we have the unique combination of experience in being present at the recording venue, transfering the master tape to the disc, amplifying and reproducing it through the loudspeakers, and recreating the image in the listening room. | | | We know that at any split moment in a recording there is a plethora of microsounds which make up the timbre, dynamics and the three dimensional presentation of the original sound. |

| | Sonic Glossary: Basso Continuo |
| | Basso Continuo is a method of thickening musical textures by augmenting the bass line. | | | Listen to the cello and harpsichord that accompany the violin in this sonata by Arcangelo Corelli: | | | Musicians performing the basso continuo also had the additional function of holding the ensemble together (in partnership with the musician who led the melodic line) by establishing tempos and maintaining a clear bass part. |

| | Continuo in Bach's Vocal Works - Part 2 |
| | Baroque continuo does present special problems, because we depend on the artistry of the continuo keyboard player for a satisfactory realisation of the figured bass; nevertheless, audio engineers ought to ensure that the conception of the continuo keyboard player is conveyed to the listener, at least in the smaller-scale (chamber) forms. | | | The vagueness of the keyboard figured-bass realisations in all those BWV 116 alto aria examples, apart from the one with piano, is akin to completely omitting the cello part from the score of a Beethoven string quartet, IMO. | | | Such is the reason that (although I DO admire his using the Harpsichord in the Continuo [as Bach would have done]) I do NOT recommend Rilling recordings when opposed to Richter recordings or those featuring the Thomanerchor Leipzig. |

| | continuo - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about continuo |
| | The role of continuo is similar to the traditional role of the bass and piano or guitar in jazz music. | | | This continuo part was played as a single bass line by a bass stringed instrument, such as a cello or double bass. | | | In 17th-century baroque music, composers wrote figures under a bass part to indicate the chords to be played (also called figured bass) rather than write out each chord in detail. |

| | Johann Sebastian Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | For unaccompanied solo violin he composed a set of six sonatas and partitas, and he also produced a similar set for cello and another for lute. | | | The most significant examples of the latter are contained in The Art of Fugue and The Musical Offering. | | | There are no instrumental parts for these motets (except Lobet den Herrn, which has a continuo part), but it was typical of performance practice of the time to double vocal works with instruments and accompany them with continuo, so this method is often followed for modern performances; other performers do them a cappella. |
