Delle Donne Consort presents a polyphonic love story with a toxic twist. Through the program the different facets of love themes from the 16th century during the Italian Renaissance are shown through Neapolitan Villanelles and their unique influence throughout the Western music.
As one of the most influential composers in the history of madrigal, Cypriaan de Rore through emotionality, vividness, extravagant rhetorical gestures, and unusual chromatism expresses the richness of the Renaissance’s human feelings.
VIEWJosquin des Prez was considered the greatest composer of his age, as a central figure of the Franco-Flemish school, his mastery of technique and expressions were truly inspirational and admired.
VIEWThe theory of imitation and expression is one of the most essential elements in the history of Western music. Imitation was regarded as a general principle of art, and art itself as an imitation of life.
The performance Inquietudine - Restlessness describes the search for identity and one's own voice.
Delle Donne Consort emerges as an accompanying baroque ensemble during the final exams of the dance students of the art academy of Asse.
