Extractions: music for viola da gamba by Roy Whelden and Carl Friedrich Abel, performed by Whelden and American Baroque An introspective and quite accessible disc which is enjoyable on several levels, not the least of which is the experimental nature inherent in the very combination of new and old. SEE Magazine , Edmonton This album contains pieces for the viola da gamba, some written by me and some by the German composer Carl Friedrich Abel (1723-1787), recognized as the last of the great viola da gamba virtuosi. Abel occupied a unique position in the history of music. With Johann Christian Bach, he co-managed, performed and composed for one of the most successful concert organizations in London during the late 18th century. From 1765 to 1782, the popular Bach-Abel series was his principal venue, yet the instrument on which his fame rested as a performer was by then universally ocnsidered to be old-fashioned and out-of-date. Few amateurs and even fewer professionals were attracted to the viola da gamba after the close of the Baroque period. However, the music which Abel played on these concerts was anything but out-of-date. The 'Adagio-Allegro moderato' pair on this recording is an example; these were taken from a manuscript (New York Public Library, Drexel 5871) containing thirty pieces thought to represent the style of Abel's solo improvisations. Like Abel, I have chosen to write and perform music using up-to-the-minute compositional techniques on instruments commonly thought to be old-fashioned. These instruments include, besides the viola da gamba, the resonant and warm-toned Baroque flute, violin, and cello, as well as the fully chromatic triple harp, with its three rows of strings. Techniques drawn from minimal music are evident in "Twin Rows" (and to a lesser extent in the "Quartet after Abel"). "Fanfare" is influenced by twelve-tone serialism while taking its rhythms from Baroque marches and countermarches. The retrospective "Prelude and Divisions on She's So Heavy" weds the 17th and 18th century practice of preludizing and division (variation) playing to the inimitable melodies and harmonies of the Beatles. "Galax" (named after the Virginia town hosting the most famous fiddle festial on the East Coast) joins viola da gamba chordal techniques with faint traces of Appalachian fiddle music.

In a few cases, such armorial bearings are either family arms or components which appear in the arms of others as if the illustrious individual had borne them. For James Clerk Maxwell or James Watt , the best evidence (yet) of an association with the arms featured here is the quartering of these arms by other family members... Another example is "Sable a sun Or", which is an unambiguous heraldic reference to St. Thomas Aquinas in the arms of a number of institutions or individuals, although Thomas apparently never sported any arms himself.

CARL FRIEDRICH ABEL, A GAINSBOROUGH PAINTING, Gainsboroughs portrait of Carl friedrich abel and his viol,2 now in the National Portrait Gallery (but currently not on display), is an arresting work http://www.amarilli.co.uk/academic/consort/abel.asp
Extractions: CARL FRIEDRICH ABEL, A GAINSBOROUGH PAINTING, AND VIOL TEMPERAMENT SOME EVIDENCE AND ENIGMAS The Consort Journal of the Dolmetsch Foundation ), Summer 2003, Vol. 59, 51 - 74. Gainsboroughs portrait of Carl Friedrich Abel and his viol, now in the National Portrait Gallery (but currently not on display), is an arresting work both in its light and colour, and in its composition. Unlike Gainsboroughs portrait of Abel in the Huntington Library and Art Gallery the viol in the National Portrait Gallery painting is being held virtually in the playing position, offering considerable information about the instrument itself. The belly and fingerboard almost face the observer, showing such features as a detailed rose, and unusual C holes. Interestingly, the instrument has seven strings, although Abels extant gamba compositions do not call for the low A string in the solo parts. The portrait is thought to have been originally owned by one of Gainsboroughs daughters, and was acquired by the Gallery in 1987. It was previously on public display at London s Grosvenor gallery in 1885, but for most of its provenance has been in private collections.
