About this Event
Prima Melodia: Birth of Baroque
Vocal music of the 1600s, (the seicento) was greatly different from the counterpoint and polychoral pieces of the earlier Renaissance era. This then-new style, which was born in Florence, Venice, and Rome, emphasized singing and the singer’s ability to express emotion or affect through the text and highly ornamented vocal lines.
It is this emotional expression that has created a resurgence of both secular and sacred baroque music in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The repertoire for Prima Melodia: Birth of Baroque will showcase some of the Italianate genre’s most popular and influential vocal compositions.
