From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "thoroughbass" does not mean the same thing as "figured bass," though nowadays they refer to the same musical practice. "Thoroughbass," like "basso continuo," means a bass part that runs throughout (thoroughout, in 16th-19th c. English) the entire piece. (cf. Orlando Gibbons, Second Service, Magnificat, "thoroughout all generations") LorenCarle (talk) 14:36, 17 December 2013 (UTC)Loren Carle, organist and harpsichordist, Montréal.[reply]
