A portrait of the female figure in XVI th century secular music
Featuring: soprano, cornetto, viola da gamba, lute, dulcian, percussion, organ
This program presents through music a parade of the most significant figures of the female Renaissance world: there are the traditional nymphs in their natural setting of the forest, surrounded by animals and flowers; but also love queens, mistresses of seduction; jealous, betrayed women, abandoned by their husbands; old witches and madwomen who prowl the street, cackling at those who pass and stare. For this program, Concerto Scirocco uses an ensemble formation enhanced by the inclusion of a lute, a viola da gamba and percussion to add verve and vigour within a truly charming sonority.
