3 Canonic Songs of the 14th Century - 3 scores [Mag:EML0209]

3 Canonic Songs of the 14th Century - 3 scores. Contributors: Thomas (ed). Recorder Trios (AAT). Publisher's category: Recorder Trios.

These canonic pieces are part of a specific genre that flourished in Italy during the second half of the fourteenth century. Most Italian pieces of this kind are caccie: in these the apparent subject-matter of the poem is the hunting of birds and small animals, though sometimes, as in Nel bosco senza folglie the real subject seems to be pursuit of a sexual nature. A common feature of the cacao, is the imitation of bird calls and sounds such as hunting horns; another is the use of hocketing (single off-beat notes). The majority of pieces in the repertoire have a distinctly virtuosic character: they certainly demand great clarity of articulation from the singers. The canonic method was often applied to the madrigal, as in no. 3 here, and occasionally to the ballata, as in no. 1.
Instrumentalists should have no inhibitions about performing this music: with good articulation players of recorders or bowed or plucked instruments will be able to do it more than justice.
