ITALIA MIA: Music of Renaissance Italy

ITALIA MIA: Music of Renaissance Italy

Parthenia Viol Consort

Sherezade Panthaki, soprano
Christopher Morrongiello, lutes

The viola da gamba arrived in Italy in the late 15th century, and Venice was where it had its greatest flourishing. In this prosperous international setting ruled by cultivated patrons of the arts, an extraordinary synergy arose among composers, musicians, instrument builders, and publishers that led to some of the most beautiful music of the Renaissance. Parthenia Viol Consort with soprano Sherezade Panthaki and lutenist Christopher Morrongiello presents a program of canzonas, dances, madrigals, and motets by composers of the 16th including Verdelot, Arcadelt, Guami and Tromboncino. In this program, the artists use viols and lutes styled on those from the 16th century.
