He played primarily a single line, although he occasionally used a strum or his middle finger to add an extra note or two for additional color. IIRC, Crawford primarily took the contratenor line, but that's based mainly on what I got from his class. BTW, it was two voices and/or vielle, so it was mostly three part music. Eve traded off singing and playing vielle (not a hurdy-gurdy, it's a bowed instrument something like a viola in general size, shape, and pitch). I don't recall who played on which pieces. Someone did make a video of the concert, but I don't recall who and I don't know if it's available. Best thing might be to contact Crawford.
FWIW, I made a recording (with Crawford's permission) of the entire concert on my Zoom H2. However, it's in the form of two huge .wav files right now. When I get some time, I'm going to break it down into tracks and convert them to MP3, which will be a bit more manageable.
