Capirola (1474-1548) - Rechercar decimo




The Lutecast show

Summary: My first piece, played from an Italian tablature. Capirola was a nobleman from Brescia, who developed the first virtuous lute music. His works stand between the meandering "improvised" style of Spinacino and the elaborated polyphony of Francesco da Milano. Here I recorded the Rechercar 10 from his lutebook. Click on the headline to listen to the music example. Enjoy. (c) 2005 W.G. Bogula / bogula (a.t) gmail.com
