This is the music composed for an extravagant wedding ceremony between Ferdinando de' Medici and Christine of Lorraine on May the 2nd 1589. These musical sections were intermezzi's for a showing of the comedy La Pellegrina by Girolamo Bargagli. The visual aspect of the spectacle was entrusted to Bernardo Buontalenti. We are lucky to have contemporary accounts both of the staging and of the musical performance which made a video such as this possible. This spectacle was one of the turning points in the transition from renaissance to baroque aesthetics in the world of music and theatre. In this 1986 recording the Taverner Consort, Choir & Players are conduced by Andrew Parrott. The extensive cast of wonderful early music specialists includes Emma Kirkby, Tessa Bonner, Emily Van Evera, Evelyn Tubb (sopranos), Mary Nichols, Terry Anderson, Catherine Woolf (altos), Nigel Rogers, Andrew King, Mark Padmore, Charles Daniels, Rogers Covey-Crump (tenors), Alan Ewing, John Milne, Richard Wistreich (basses) and many more marvelous singers which I will omit for want of space.

Ridete pur, ridete. Laugh, then, laugh, Lady, for with your lovely laughter You open Paradise. O happy burning cheeks, O lively shining eyes: Thus the roses laugh In their shady hedgerows, Thus, shining and beautiful, The stars laugh in the heavens. Laugh, then, laugh.

T'amo, mia vita / "Both the Fifth and Sixth Books of Madrigals by Carlo Gesualdo, “Prince of Venosa”, were published in 1611 in Gesualdo, the village which takes its name from the composer’s ancient aristocratic family (it lies in southern Italy, between Naples and Bari). Towering over the village is the Castello di Gesualdo, and these two volumes were actually printed within the castle bounds, Gesualdo having entrusted Jacopo Carlino with the task of setting up a press there. [...] Just as Book Two was a natural successor to the first volume (or vice versa, as some recent research has suggested), the Sixth Book follows on logically from the Fifth, forming a conclusion to the corpus of madrigals composed by a musical genius of boundless invention and creativity. Gesualdo was able to experiment freely and move beyond the conventional limits of composition because his work was not subject to an employer’s demands or any other kind of constraint. This explains the inspired anomalies to be found in his polyphonic writing—music which still has the power today to surprise and enthrall expert musicians and non-specialist listeners alike. [,,,] Through words, music turns into feeling, touching the emotional cortex of anyone who listens to it. While sixteenth-century music looked to balance for beauty, what we find in Gesualdo’s final works is that this balance is disrupted, the music moving towards harmonic and rhythmic instability which offers the listener only a sense of becoming, never one of motionlessness. The exception becomes the rule. Cadences are never truly conclusive, and we are drawn in by the unpredictable, be it a chain of harmonies that modulates into keys far removed from what the ear expects to hear, or a rhythmic flow in which not even the final chord suggests stability because one line always comes in late or moves in syncopation with the others. To quote Claudio Gallico, “his assumption of expressive responsibility results in a baldly objective observation of different states of mind. His expressiveness, although highly personalised and subjectively determined, lives in the imagination and is stylised in a forest of masks and illusions. This is the point at which Renaissance culture disintegrated.” In Books Five and Six a new relationship between text and music emerges. The music is no longer inspired by the broader poetic concept, but by a single word: from that word, and it alone, there flows music which is no longer ephemeral “word-painting”, but imbued instead with the deeper meaning evoked by that one word. The musical fresco suggested by a poem’s imagery becomes increasingly fragmented. This results in a far less smooth and continuous musical discourse: these final works are alive with brief, disjointed images that alternate with pauses (used more often here than ever before in the madrigal repertoire), as silence becomes anticipation, meditation or inner suffering. Silence is transformed into musical thought, the true essence of music or perhaps even a much-desired and sought-after negation of itself." ~Marco Longhini Source: (http•••) / For education, promotion and entertainment purposes only.
