This collection invites you into the refined and expressive world of Renaissance polyphony, showcasing some of the most iconic vocal forms of the 16th century—madrigals, frottole, villotte, chansons, and villancicos. These pieces reflect the vibrant tapestry of courtly and civic music in Renaissance Europe, where poetry, melody, and vocal counterpoint came together in elegant harmony.

At the heart of this musical journey are the madrigals: secular vocal compositions rich in emotion and textual expression, often set to pastoral or amorous poetry. Alongside them, lighter forms such as Italian villotte and frottole, French chansons, and Spanish villancicos reveal the diversity of regional styles and the blending of folk elements with courtly sophistication.

Performed by skilled vocal ensembles in authentic style, this program highlights the beauty and intricacy of Renaissance vocal writing—a time when the human voice was considered the supreme vehicle for both artistic and spiritual elevation.
