"Cantio Ruthenica LXXI by Joannes Leopolita (alias of Roman Turovsky,
the ukainian painter and composer living in New York). Unusual melange
of romantic guitar and viella both played by Maurizio Manzon. "
Look at this one... just beautiful...

Indeed! Roman's sources for this music (or some of them, anyway) seems to
be women's choirs in a sort of caller-response format: solo female voice
for a phrase and chordal response from collected voices. The music is
slow, rubato, pained! with titles beginning "Achh! ..."
So a realisation on a plucked instrument is quite a challenge. A bowed
instrument can at least seethe a bit. I wonder why, along with the bowed
thing, Maurizio used a 19th century guitar since he has played this music
on lutes.
(And how did he get that video effect? I'd like to have a go at that!)
