Basso Continuo (or Thorough-Bass)
It is one of the most distinct and consistent features of the Baroque as a whole.
Functioning as both melodic and harmonic bass, it was played by a combination of 2 kinds of movements....
1. One or more melodic instruments (viola da gamba, or bassoon)
2. A keyboard instrument (organ or harpsichord), or lute.
