Synopsis

Album Description
This program is structured around the figure of Gian Domenico del Giovane da Nota (1510-1592), organist and later master of the church of the Annunciation in Naples. In addition to a number of madrigals and motets, he left us one of the richest and most typical collections of Canzoni Villanesche (1545). These works, also known as Napolitane, were songs on popular themes, originally written for three voices in the Neapolitan dialect. The program is further enriched by a selection of varied instrumental pieces, featuring not only instruments that were fashionable during the Renaissance (recorders, post horns, reed instruments, violas, lutes, guitars, percussions, and bagpipes), but also typical Neapolitan instruments such as colascioni, tammorri, and tromba degli zingari (gypsy trumpet).
