In Misticanza, Phaedrus sifts through the traces of popular melodies, folk songs, and poetry cleverly hidden within the frottole of 15th-and-16th century Italy. In a twist inspired by the term 'misticanza'—a 17th century invention of Michael Praetorius—the songs are re-imagined through the perspective of the German-speaking 'lanzi': the earliest known flute players to have worked in Italy throughout the Renaissance period. Misticanza is full of riddles, humor, and surprising layers of beauty embedded in a unique musical puzzle.
