Christian IV & his music ©
In the beginning of the 162o’s at the peak of his vigorous reign Christian lV had his courtpainter Reinhold Timm paint a picture of one of his instrumental ensembles, consisting of four musicians playing the flute, lute, harp and bass viol (see the cover picture). Two of the dipicted are clearly portraits whereas the two younger persons appear more anonymous. The Irish harpplayer, Derby Skott had been an esteemed courtmusician for some years, and the viol player might well be Thomas Simpson from England. The violist, William Brade, was also at the Danish court at that period, but beeing a man more staid he is not likely to be the violplayer onTimm’s painting which today constitutes the basis of composition of Consortium Hafniense – our only addition beeing the wirestrung bandora, a guitar-like instrument to be found on another contemporary picture of
Danish courtmusicians in the Rosenbotg Castle.
