Renaissance chanson
on: November 14, 2005, 08:59:27 PM
In a 4-part Parisian chanson, it is acceptable performance practice to substitute one of the voice parts with an instrument?  For example, substituting the bass with a cello?  The exact chanson I'm thinking about is "Tant que vivray" by Sermisy.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
