Viola da gamba is a type of early music that originated in the 15th century. It is a bowed string instrument that is similar to the modern cello, but with a fretted fingerboard and six or seven strings. It is usually played in a consort, or group, of instruments, and is often used to accompany vocal music. The music is characterized by its lyrical melodies, intricate counterpoint, and rich harmonies. It is often performed in a slow, stately tempo, and is often used to evoke a sense of nostalgia or longing.
