Caterina Assandra Motets Op 2 Continuo

Jes

Hi All,

Any tips one can please give about realisation of the continuo for Caterina Assandra's Motets Op 2?
Looking at it I think I can nut out the harmony just fine it's about how elaborate/not elaborate I can play and sing at the same time at this stage. I have a bass singing with me.
The recordings I can find of Haec Dies etc include MANY instruments instead of the instrumentation we will have. ie. just organ and two voices.

Looking into this style more as I hope to acquire a portative soon.

Jes,
I'm sorry I can't help with the realization of the continuo, but is "nut" Australian for "work"?

Chris,

Using ones's "nut" or "noggin" is a variation on using one's brain.

I only see one Haec dies on youtube, an instrumental version for harpsichord & recorder. One can compare several Duo seraphim: colla parte strings & sackbut, a Trio seraphim with equal- tempered lute added to organ, basso seguente omitted for variety, Sola seraphim with violin replacing a voice.
