It's certainly a very interesting area of music that we often talk about (as musicians), but in general know less about. <br /><br />I'm studying musicology at university to diversify a little in my musical activities and job possibilities. One of the courses is .. polyphonic harmony, and of course madrigals fall into that. I can thoroughly recommend (if you're interested) that you look into Orlando/Roland de Lassus (1532-94), probably 'the' greatest polyphonic composer - you'll find plenty in the Oxford History I imagine, or in the Grove Online. His work 'Psalmi Davidis poenitentiales', is mind-blowing. In fact I guess much of his work is very interesting. <br /><br />Best - Joe joeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282590943897598903noreply@blogger.com
