I add a bass of sorts (simple, drone like, non-harmonic yet supportive
if this makes sense) and improvise continuo: no thirds (or few thirds),
imitations of phrase-endings (often overlapping), instrumental
intreludes based upon the vocal line, but freely
embellished/changed/improvised. I like to take Andrew Lawrence King and
friend's accompaniments of the repertoire as an example. Listen for
example to the CD Proensa with Paul Hillier. I don't know if it's
authentic, but I do know it's convincing.

Hello Lutekin!
What plucked instrument would be appropriate for accompanying the
works of Bernard de Ventadorn?
Thanks in advance,
Edward Yong
Gittern, citole.....
But I wonder what an accompaniment would be. A 'mere' drone? Can't
be major or minor chords! Random fourths and fifths? A counter
melody?
