Ideal for musicians, producers, and composers looking to add lyrical samples from the Middle Ages, SONUSCORE Medieval Phrases Lute & Theorbo from boom Library, a virtual instrument and sample library that brings back the flair of medieval castles and the inspiring spirit of the Renaissance. The instrument was recorded in the darker tones of the Natural Minor and Dorian modes. The software is Mac and Windows compatible and requires Steinberg’s free HALion Sonic SE software or the full version of NI Kontakt 6.7.1 or later.

The Instruments

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the bards in courts and taverns constantly needed new ways to inspire their audiences. People looked back to the ancients for their inspiration, whether in science, medicine, or music.

The Ancient Greeks tapped into the divine in their epic recitations accompanied by the lyre and kithara. So, it was only natural that during the late medieval times, when all things ancient were coming into fashion again, that the lute and theorbo would take a centerpiece. The light, heavenly plucks of the lute are richly accented by the deep voice of the theorbo, perfect for period pieces, experimental music, or ambient dwellings.

Live Recorded Phrases

The phrases are all recorded in the darker tones of the Natural Minor and Dorian modes, including plucks (with 3 round-robins), tremolos, and a variety of trills—most recorded with 2 round-robins. They are meant to inspire the rhythm and movement of the Middle Ages. The zest and dynamic focus on rhythm means they can fit into more projects than simple lyrical phrases.

Freely Playable Instruments

To connect the phrases further and more individually or play your own melodies, you can play the lute and theorbo freely as individual instruments. Create stunning and authentic melodies in no time in combination with emotional live phrases.
