Influences de la musique populaire italienne renaissante

Influences of Renaissance Italian popular music

Originating in Naples, the villanelle was born in the 16th century and embodies the influence of folk music on so-called learned music, giving Italian music a rhythmic complexity and melodic purity that would be found in the canzonette and the madrigal, and later in opera.

The boundary between scholarly and popular music was in fact lighter during the Renaissance, both in Italy and elsewhere in Europe, as were religious and secular music; what we consider marked genres today came together more easily, and the artistic links and interactions between the court, the street and the church were tremendously dynamic.

Continuing to explore the relationships between music and musicians from seemingly opposite worlds, L'Achéron sets out here to shed light on the folk roots of Italian Renaissance and Baroque music: From Naples to Rome, Florence and Venice, from Giovanni Domenico da Nola to Girolamo Frescobaldi, Johannes Hieronimus Kapsperger, Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina and Claudio Monteverdi, the apparent simplicity, rustic lyricism and galvanising strophism of this music will naturally echo the popular music of today.
