A Brief Clarification of the Blank Cheque that is Basso Continuo:
Brutal Crunching: harpsichord, cello
Beatific Calm: chamber organ, gamba
Beautiful Chaos: theorbo, harpsichord
Belching Competition: sackbut, bassoon, double bass
Buzzing Cacophony: reed organ
Bloody Cherubim: harp
Buddhist Chanting: double bass, violone (on a pedal)
Battling Cocks: usually all-male, definitely all-dominant, continuo group
Burgeoning Contributions most welcome...

No one's yet mentioned Barrington-Coupe, so I though that I'd better not do so either (although, as you'll all see, I failed).
As to an ideal continuo instrument, nothing quite beats the contrabass saxophone, methinks (or, as an alternative, the tubax, which is somewhat more practical in that it is easier to carry around, sports a conventional baritone sax mouthpiece and is capable of rather more florid passagework when called upon to provide it).
Ollie will now probably demand that I face the wall while he organises the firing squad...
Anyway. moving swiftly back to the thread topic, isn't it indicative of a concert in which the first half is performed by the Birmingham contemporary Music Group?
Best,
Alistair

...or perhaps the front end of a famously defunct bank not based in Gosforth (as in "Gosforth upon thy journey, Northern soul" - or something - which is a darn sight better than A Little Bit of Northern Rock of Ages, methinks...)
Sorry, my "stream" of semi-consciousness seems to have become dammed up by delicate Ravelian woodwind passages, so it's high time forme to shut up...
Best,
Alistair
