Background: In 1638, one of Domenico Mazzochi's few printed books of music was published, entitled 'Madrigali a cinque voci'. In a dictation to Cardinal Francesco Barberini, Mazzochi identifies the true calling of his music: 'Already they [the madrigals] have been honoured many times in Your allowing them to be sung together with your viol ensemble.' The Cardinal had in fact subsidized a musical academy, in which a viol ensemble was active and significant enough that the institution was known as 'accademia delle viole'. The use of viols allowed the polyphonic structure of the music to be clearly audible, whilst avoiding the confusion of simultaneously sung texts by having only the upper voice sung. |
