This program charts the relatively little explored waters of virtuoso vocal and instrumental music of the late Renaissance, a repertoire of great importance in the development of Baroque musical forms and styles. The late 16th century was an age of phenomenal improvisers – performers who extended the limits of vocal and instrumental language by extemporizing on well known songs of the day, much in the same vein as the great jazz artists of the 20th century who improvised on the best hits of their day. The “raw materials” for these extravagant improvisations (called “diminutions”) were often vocal works, madrigals and canzonas, composed by established composers of the previous generation, such as Palestrina and Cipriano de Rore, whose best loved songs sometimes remained on the charts for a century or more. A case in point is Palestrina’s madrigal “Vestiva i colli” of 1555, one of the “greatest hits” of the Renaissance, presented here in a late 16th century version with diminutions for lute (1593), and also in a version for violin and viola da gamba published in the extraordinarily late date of 1638. Of special interest are the works by the Rognoni of Milan, father and son, who both published masterpieces and treatises on virtuoso vocal and instrumental technique. The son, Francesco, is considered to be the first great violinist in that instrument’s illustrious history. The program contains works featuring each of the six most prolific and influential musical “instruments” of the age: voice, lute, cornetto, violin, viola da gamba and organ.
