What’s a viola da gamba? I scarcely know. Yet I’m absolutely gobsmacked by the sounds created by trios and quartets of the instrument on Through Lines. The new album by Molly Herron and Science Ficta opens with the portentous "Canon No. 3". Enchanting selections including "Trill" and "Lyra" advance the boundless beauty. Some may categorize Through Lines as classical music. Others may call it new music. As for myself? Clearly, it’s a divine manifestation of modern-day sorcery.
