Venice Circa 1500: The Beginning of Printed Polyphonic Music

Music from Ottaviano Petrucci's Harmonice Musices Odhecaton Canti A (1501), Canti B (1502), and Canti C (1503). The first printed polyphonic music with movable type in Venice, was Europe's "internet moment" more than 500 years ago. Among the composers represented in these three anthologies are no less than Josquin, Isaac, Agricola and Obrecht. This program will be performed on renaissance viols and recorders, with guest musician David Hatcher.
