L´alba novella
L´alba novella is a programme with Italian repertory from the 16th century. Centring around madrigals and frottole by composers Arcadelt, De Ponte, Tromboncino, Cipriano, and Monteverdi, the programme shows a broad spectre of Italian late renaissance music, from simple homophonic settings of verse to the Flemish-imported polyphonic weaves of the madrigalists.
