"La media noche es pasada" – A musical play

This project is dedicated to two Spanish songbooks of the early 16th century: the Cancionero de Palacio and the Codex Segovia. These manuscripts contain music from Spain, Flandes and Italy, courts that had a close relationship and exchange of repertoires and musicians. The program is supported by concordances with other Italian sources such as the Cancionero de Montecassino, Paris 676, the Thibault lute manuscript, and prints by Petrucci. In addition, new introductions, transitions and arrangements are written by Ailen Monti following models of the time. The performance involves six musicians who play characters and have dialogues in between the songs. The musical pieces return to the theater in a scene that tries to reenact the stage practice of the beginning of the century.
