Amori e Sorrisi "Of Love and Laughter"
One hour of Italian music through the centuries

Dear friends, welcome to this journey through the Italian music. The term music in Italian, would be more appropriate (we have three "northerners" and Flemish - Loyset Compere, Josquin Des Prez and Cyprien de Rore from our authors) better word, but also flawed, since you hear incidentally also two texts ... French. Why
Of love and laughter? Because we found that two issues alone could characterize the pieces we sang: love and laughter.
Love filled, sad, contemplative, sometimes desperate, and laughter, gentle, allusive and burlesque. In short, the ARS NOVA Landini burlesque Rossini, here is the beautiful image of an Italy-style alternating between high (Petrarch) and commedia dell'arte
