Cantar Alla Viola

A Musical Tour, From Renaissance To Baroque ...

Accompanying song with stringed and bowed instruments was a common practice at the time of Renaissance humanism. Looking to revive ancient Greece, musicians accompanied verses of songs with lyras and bow viols at banquets and meetings in houses and palaces. The performers of this Da Vinci Classics album are inspired for their interpretation by the Renaissance treatises on music rhetoric, with the viola imitating the affections and passions of the human soul as expressed in speech. This album also celebrates the duos twentieth anniversary, including examples from their entire repertoire, from Italian madrigals to Spanish villancicos, English Songs and Airs, and German works.
