Any late Italian Baroque music with a part labelled 'liuto' will mean 'arciliuto', the classic Renaissance lute being in disuse by this time. Among the most important composers of archlute music in the 17th century we can name Alessandro Piccinini, Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger (c. 1580 – 17 January 1651) and in the 18th century Giovanni Zamboni, whose set of 12 sonatas (1718, Lucca) for the ...

The angélique (French, from Italian angelica) is a plucked string instrument of the lute family of the baroque era. It combines features of the lute , the harp , and the theorbo . It shares the form of its pear-shaped body as well as its vibrating string length of 54 to 70 cm with the lute.
A continuous bass was the rule in Baroque music; its absence is worth mentioning and has a reason, such as describing fragility. The specific character of a movement is often defined by wind instruments, such as oboe , oboe da caccia , oboe d'amore , flauto traverso , recorder , trumpet , horn , trombone , and timpani .
In later Baroque lutes, two upper courses are single. The courses are numbered sequentially, counting from the highest pitched, so that the chanterelle is the first course, the next pair of strings is the second course, etc. Thus an 8-course Renaissance lute usually has 15 strings, and a 13-course Baroque lute has 24.
As with the lute, the player plucks or strums the strings with the right hand while "fretting" (pressing down) the strings with the left hand. The theorbo is related to the liuto attiorbato , the French théorbe des pièces , the archlute , the German baroque lute, and the angélique (or angelica ).
The lautenwerck (also spelled lautenwerk), alternatively called lute-harpsichord (lute-clavier) or keyboard lute, is a European keyboard instrument of the Baroque period. It is similar to a harpsichord , but with gut (sometimes nylon ) rather than metal strings (except for the 4-foot register on some instruments), producing a mellow tone.
