Baldassare Castiglione was a courtier, diplomat, and author, whose Book of the Courtier provides fascinating insights into courtly life in 16th century Italy. We'll hear music Castiglione might have encountered in Mantua and Urbino, including frottole by Cara and Tromboncino, plus works by Pesenti, Josquin, and Martini. Our performers include the Huelgas Ensemble, Marco Beasley, and the Modena Consort.
