Juditha Triumphans (Vivaldi)

Post by John »

I noticed the suggestion that the 4 theorboes be cleaned up. In the days before the piano, repetiteurs would accompany on theorbo. In opera, each principal singer would bring their own theorboist into the pit. Audiences were known to complain that they could not see the stage but for a proliferation of theorboes. It would seem natural for a composer sometimes to make further use of this resource.
