The cornett and the sackbut, although still little-known in our own day, were
omnipresent in the musical life of the XVth, XVIth and XVIIth centuries. Their
versatility, due in essence to the distinctive qualities of the sounds they
produced, enable them, for example, to play a part in the official ceremonies of
the court, such as festivities, weddings and the entry of important persons, and
in balls, but especially made them the most suitable instruments for supporting
chantry choirs in churches. |
