Description

As with painters, sculptors, and architects, the musicians of the Renaissance, whether native Italian or from northern Europe, enjoyed the enlightened patronage of the humanist courts of Ferrara and Mantua, as well as those of papal Rome and Medicean Florence. Their music explored new harmonies, with the voice given greater prominence. The renowned composers featured on this compilation contributed in a multitude of ways to the development of music during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries.

In the fourteenth century, Francesco Landini set the stage for the Renaissance with his expressive and distinctive melodies, played here on the clavichord by Metropolitan Museum Concerts and Lectures performer Martin Souter. Joan Ambrosio Dalza was famed for his dance compositions for the lute, while the Northern European composers Guillaume Du Fay, Ludwig Senfl, Heinrich Isaac, and Josquin des Prez traveled widely, exchanging their musical ideas and helping to create an international European style. Francesco da Milano, who was often called “Il Divino,” a title shared with Michelangelo, was one of the great virtuoso performers of the sixteenth century.
