The members of the Montreal-based trio, Marie Nadeau-Tremblay, Ryan Gallagher (viola da gamba), and Nathan Mondry, have compiled a program in which each piece corresponds with an episode or aspect of this 17th century pandemic. All of the composers selected for this album — Schmelzer, Castello, Fontana, Pandolfi, Rossi, Farina — were violinists, and all of them were affected by the plague, in some cases, fatally.
