Jeff Hijlkema | Largo for mandolin, theorbe & strings // realistic mockup @jeffhijlkema | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Inspired by the Belgian Klara podcast about the history, beauty and faded glory of Venice.

-Solo Mandolin: Spitfire Audio, LABS Mandolin
-Solo Theorbe: Soniccouture, The conservatoire collection, English Theorbe
-String orchestra: Spitfire Audio, BBCSO Pro

In this Largo I'm making use of a baroque technique; repeating a seufzer ostinato, in this case through the violas. All strings play non-vibrato.

I compose, mix and produce using Cubase Pro.

The video was compiled using free footage from pexels and pixbay. Montage, editing and colour grading I did in Adobe Premiere Pro.


Be well,
Jeff Hijlkema
