USF professor John Robison and guest soprano Maggie Coleman present an abso-lute-ly amazing 
program of solo music for lute, theorbo, and archlute, along with English Renaissance and Italian 
Baroque songs. The program includes solo music for 10-course Renaissance lute by English, 
Flemish, Italian, and German composers, solo theorbo music by Piccinini, and archlute pieces by Melii 
and Zamboni. All genres of early instrumental music will be represented on the program, including 
preludes, dance music, variations, and fantasias. The vocal portion of the concert will include 
Elizabethan lute songs by Jones and Dowland, plus Italian Baroque songs by Caccini and Cesti with 
the continuo parts performed on the theorbo or archlute.
