TEMPRO LA CETRA
From 21 May 2023 to 21 May 2023/ Italy / Vigevano
Through madrigals, arias, toccatas and songs by the most significant composers of the early 17th century in Italy, this programme offers an overview of the vocal and instrumental repertoire of this period, performed in the manner of famous performers such as Giulio Caccini, Francesco Rasi, Jacopo Peri and many others, who used to accompany themselves on the chitarrone, or theorbo, an instrument developed in those years for the accompaniment of voices and the creation of the basso continuo, but which thanks to the ingenuity of composers such as Kapsberger, Piccini and Castaldi was enriched with an important solo repertoire.
