Rinascimento 是 Kontakt 5 的音色库,收录了 36 件中世纪和文艺复兴时期的乐器。
Rinascimento 包含 3 件弓弦乐器、2 件铜管乐器、8 件簧片乐器、5 件不同尺寸的竖笛、2 件其他类型的长笛、7 件鲁特琴(带自动扫弦引擎)、5 件打击乐器、1 架羽管键琴、1 架维金纳琴、1 架阳琴和 1 架拥有 10 个音域的完整管风琴。
两年前,那是九月,我们想讲述另一个故事。或者更确切地说,是一个童话故事,一个传说?让我们从更远的地方说起。
Hic sunt leones——字面意思是“狮子在这里”——是罗马人用来指代神秘而未知的非洲大陆的谚语。这句古老的谚语在帝国所有未开发的地区都广为流传。这正是我们追寻的:狮子。我们对探索未知领域、驯服新野兽的想法感到兴奋不已,而加利雄、克鲁姆霍恩和西奥伯只是我们渴望面对的众多可怕野兽中的一部分。
我们听说过“罗西尼奥尔”(La Rossiqnol),一群专攻文艺复兴音乐的意大利乐手。经过一番短暂的调查和几次电话沟通,我们终于见到了乐团的首席组织者兼鲁特琴演奏家多梅尼科(Domenico)。
在我们最初的印象中,文艺复兴音乐演奏家们还生活在窗帘间的褶边中,在烛光下高谈阔论哲学话题。因此,当我们发现,就连多梅尼科也在寻找一个好的样本库来制作他的……文艺复兴模型时,我们感到非常惊讶——但也有些失望!此外,我们发现他的“追逐”非常合理,因为在浩瀚的文艺复兴时期曲目中,只有极少数被采样,而实物或许能成为赋予维金纳琴乐谱和未受破坏的维金纳琴乐谱新生命的宝贵工具。玩笑
归玩笑,我们设法让多梅尼科和“夜莺”乐队参与了我们的项目。然而,我们仍然缺少一些乐器。短号、加利雄号和杜尔恰娜号都是难以驯服的猛兽。它们栖息在深山老林或深藏于海中,优秀的驯兽师供不应求。当时我们几乎开始认为,真正的雄狮不仅仅是乐器本身,更是它们的演奏者!我们花了数周时间才找到并聘请到合适的人选,最终,我们营里聚集了我们郡里最勇敢无畏的几位军阀:狼歌家族的坎塔卢皮勋爵和短号家族的曼多尼科伯爵。
当时我们想收集关于采样乐器的最准确信息,但La Rossiqnol乐队的演奏者们却分散在从博洛尼亚到米兰的各个地方。长话短说,我们不得不长途跋涉才能见到他们,但那些共同规划、开会、吃三明治的日子,却成了这个项目最精彩的部分之一。
与不同的人以不同的方式交流,促使我们更加精准地思考,不仅仅是我们想要构建的虚拟乐器的界面或行为,更重要的是,我们想要从零开始塑造的“文艺复兴”的框架、总体思路和内在声音。
最终,这成为了最艰难——也颇具讽刺意味——的挑战:赋予古老的韵律新的生命,并在当下的语境中演奏!

Two years ago. It was September and we wanted to tell another story. Or we’d better say a fairy tale, a legend Let’s take it from afar.
Hic sunt leones – literally “here are the lions” – the Romans were saying in reference to the mysterious and unknown African continent. This old saying became common for all the unexplored parts of the empire. That was exactly what we were looking for: leones. We felt excited by the idea of exploring an uncharted territory in search of new wild beasts to tame and Gallichon, Crumhorn or Theorbo were just some of the fearsome predators we were eager to face.
We had heard about La Rossignol, a group of italian players specialized in Renaissance Music. After a brief research and some phone calls we managed to meet Domenico, the chief organizer of the ensemble and one of its lutists.
In our preliminary mindset, Renaissance Music players were still living with ruff between the drapes, pontificating on philosophical subjects at the candlelight. Therefore, we were quite surprised – but somewhat disappointed – to find out that even Domenico was looking for a good Sample Library to make his… Renaissance mock-ups! Further, we found that his “chase” was more than reasonable, since just few of the vast Renaissance repertoire has been sampled and mock-ups may prove to be a valuable tool to give new life to virgin scores as well as for unspoiled scores of Virginal.
Jokes aside, we managed to involve Domenico and La Rossignol in our project. Still, we were missing some instrument. Cornetto, Gallichon, Dulciana are hard beasts to tame. They live holed up in the mountains or deeply hidden in the sea, and good tamer are in great demand. At that time we had almost started to think that the real leones were, more than the instruments themselves, their players! It took several weeks to find out and engage the right people, but finally we had in our battallion some of the most dauntless and valiant warlord of our county: Lord Cantalupi of the family of the Wolvesinger and Count Mandonico of the family of the Cornets.
In those days we wanted to gather the most accurate information about the instruments we were going to sample but the players of La Rossignol live scattered from Bologna to Milano. Long story short, we found ourselves traveling the region far and wide to meet them, but those days of collective planning, meetings and sandwiches turned out to be one of the coolest things for the project.
Meeting different people with different approaches stimulated us to think more precisely not only the interface or the behaviour of the virtual instruments we wanted to build up, but, more than anything else, the frame, the general idea, the inner sound of Rinascimento we wanted to shape from scratch.
This was, in the end, the most difficult – and somehow ironical – challenge: to give new life to age-old vibrations that has to be played in a present context!
