Massimo Marchese

Composed by: Van Den Hove, Joachim

Prolific composer and arranger Joachim van den Hove lived in the Netherlands during a particularly culturally vibrant period of the 17th c.The lute, thanks to its versatility, flourished during this time, its repertoire ranging from dance suites to variations on popular tunes.Van den Hove’s Florida manuscript (1601) contains a variety of mostly anonymous though analytically determined Van den Hove pieces typical of the time.Lutenist Massimo Marchese, whose theorbo playing has been deemed “delightful” by MusicWeb Int’l, has extensively researched the lute manuscripts of this period.
