From its inclusion in church music-making around 1500 to its use alongside voices in secular and sacred concertato music of the 1600’s, to the rich solo vocal repertoire with obbligato trombone of the 1700’s, the trombone has perhaps been associated with the voice more than any other instrument. The ensemble further explore the vocal virtuosity of the baroque trombone, its ability to sing and speak, and its interplay with the human voice when treated as a coequal second voice, when set in opposition, playing instrumental ritornelli, or when accompanying the voice as a continuo instrument.
