What it is

Medieval Phrases Lute & Theorbo is a phrase-based sample library for Kontakt (full version 6.7.1+) and HALion Sonic, featuring live recordings of renaissance lute and theorbo. Performed by Attila Volgyi - a period instrument specialist whose credits include Age of Empires IV and The Elder Scrolls Online - the library captures the light, plucked warmth of the lute alongside the deeper resonance of the theorbo. It is Sonuscore's first library dedicated entirely to plucked medieval instruments.

Who it's for

Film, game, and TV composers scoring period pieces, fantasy, or historical settings will get the most out of this library. It also suits producers working in ambient, experimental, or world music who want authentic medieval plucked instrument textures.
