| | Viol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The viol or viola da gamba is a family of musical instruments and is related to and descending from the vihuela and rebec. | | | Lyra viol music was also commonly written in tablature, and there is a vast repertoire of this music, some by well-known composers, and much anonymous. | | | Gamba ensembles, called consorts, were common in the 16th and 17th centuries, when they performed vocal music (consort songs or verse anthems) as well as that written specifically for instruments. |

| | Play the Viol |
| | Eventually the brighter-sounding violin and cello superseded the viol even in chamber music. | | | Viols are also welcome at early music gatherings in general, at living room jam sessions--wherever people make music. | | | Unlike the violin, used by working-class musicians in dance bands, the viol was an instrument of aristocrats, played, as a 16th century music scholar noted, by "gentlemen, merchants and other men of virtue." |

| | Consort |
| | The decline of the viol was primarily due to the competition provided by the growth of the violin family in the 17th century. | | | Viols are best suited to a small, chamber music setting, due to their soft, mellow tone. | | | Most viol music, perhaps due to the nature of the viol, is highly contrapuntal. |

| | Viols were heard primarily in ensemble, or consort, music. | | | Pieces for viol and continuo accompaniment, duets for two viols, and trio sonatas for violin, viol and continuo were written by composers such as Francois Couperin, Boismortier and the renowned bass viol virtuoso Marin Marais. | | | The violin, with a larger sound and the capabilities of being heard in the concert halls, became the premiere instrument of choice. |

| | AVdGS - History of the Viol |
| | The vihuela is an instrument of the guitar family, and the downwards playing position of the viol family is thought to have been influenced by the moorish rebec or rebab, which was held with the legs. | | | It is important to note that the viol family was not the forerunner of the violin family, but of separate origins and concurrent development. | | | The bow is held underhand, and unlike the violin family, the upbow is the strong bow. |

| | The viols were used so much by court musicians throughout Europe, that it was explained that the viol was played by genlemen, merchants and other men of virture, while the violin was played in the streets to accompany dances or to lead wedding processions. | | | Viols were popular in England long after they had been replaced by the violin on the Continent. | | | Like madrigal singing, viol playing had become part of music-maiking in the Elizabethan home by the end of the 16th century. |

| | Lyra Viol's Alive! |
| | All the written music for the viol "played lyra-way" appears in tablature, a simplified system of notation often preferred by modern beginning guitar players. | | | Viols additionally differ from "modern" string instruments by coming equipped with six or seven strings and frets like a guitar. | | | Lyra music is often extremely emotionally and intellectually engaging and presents yet another example of the depth and power of the Elizabethan culture that produced this unusual musical form. |
