Midtown Concerts presents Galileo's Daughters
Description
Music in the Age of Galileo - Le Nuove Musiche
Galileo and his composer father, Vincenzo, lived in a time when the "mathematical arts" flourished and gave birth to a new form of song based on the interpretation of ancient Greek theory and declamation. Giulio Caccini's 'Le Nuove Musiche' and virtuosic lute music is at the heart of this program.
