Description
Secular and sacred music from
the Canzoniere di Montecassino
(15th century)
Works by Dufay, Gaffurius,
van Ghizeghem, Cornago and others.
This rich collection may give today's listeners a small impression of the flourishing international musical life at the Aragonese court in Naples in the second half of the 15th century: Sacred hymns and motets, but also Franco-Burgundian chansons, Spanish canciones and Italian strambotti and ballate bear witness to an enormously artistic epoch.
