Music year 1501

A portative - seen here on the detail of the painting “ Saint Cecilia plays on the organ” from the central panel of the “Bartholomew Altar” by the master of the Bartholomew altar from 1501 - is one of the smallest (pipe) organs next to the shelf . In contrast to the shelf, which has tongue whistles , the portative is only equipped with lip whistles . The portative was mainly played in the Middle Ages and in Renaissance music. It was used less and less in baroque music. Although the portative is depicted as a musical instrument played by angels on many works of painting and the visual arts, it is rarely used in church music. Most portable players are minstrels.
