Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe
“Les Pleurs”
Realization for Theorbo: Gregory Hamilton

Sainte-Colombe was one of the great French masters of the viola da Gamba, and the teacher of Marin Marais....his music were featured in the film "Tous les matins du monde" (1991), an atmospheric, meticulously imagined life of Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe. Marais' music also figured prominently in that film, including his longer work "Sonnerie de Ste-Geneviève du Mont-de-Paris" (1723). The role of Marin Marais is played by Gérard Depardieu. The soundtrack was done by the violist Jordi Savall.

Wonderful.

This is a great transcription and performance! I’m learning the original from the concert for two viols. This is one of the most profound pieces in early music.

[@ghmus7]

Thank you! I agree...it is a very moving piece!

[@laberintosingeniosos]

Beautiful, I have been thinking for years to play this piece on our instruments! Never found the time for it. I'm glad someone did it so nicely 🙂

[@GeraldBoyClassical]

Just wonderful, thankyou. I play it also, but not so elaborate on my guitar. I will try to do more with it.
