Sainte-Colombe’s “Concerts a deux Violes Esgales” were published by Paul Hooreman in a scholarly edition in 1973. Edition Güntersberg has taken upon itself the task of publishing separate editions of some of the sixty-seven concerts in a practical edition. The third volume contains two consecutive concerts that are somewhat longer longer than most of the others. Sainte-Colombe’s music is so interesting for the performer because it violates many compositional and musical rules, and as a result often seems improvised. Its soothing and frequently melancholy character is unique. It represents a challenge that every viola da gambist should take upon him/herself.
