Description: Rebirth in Florence, featuring the music of Heinrich Isaac, Philippe Verdelot, and Francesco Corteccia. In today's session, we'll play through madrigals, motets, and carmen by master composers hired to entertain the Medici family in late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Florence. Our focus will be matching articulation in polyphonic settings, as well as pitch length/duration in homophonic passages. After lunch, we will break into smaller groups to work on consort repertoire with one-per-part.

Order of music is as follows:
Francesco Corteccia (1502-1571)
Madonna io t’aggi amat’ed amo assai
Le vecchie per Invidia sono pazze
Io vorrei pur fuggir crudel amore
Philippe Verdelot (c.1485-c.1530)
Con soave parlar, con dolce accento
Madonna qual certezza
I vostri acuti dardi
O dolce notte
Fuggi, fuggi, cor mio
Se lieta e grata morte
Heinrich Isaac (c.1450-1517)
Adieu fillette de regnon
E qui le dira
Anima mea
