Masques & Monody: Nicholas Lanier and the Italian Style
Friday, May 10 7:30-8:30pm


Though English composers of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries were aware and influenced by Italian musical styles, composer Nicholas Lanier (1588-1666) is credited with introducing the Italian musical technique of monody into England through the theatrical genre of the Masque.

Contrasting the importation of the courtly musical subjectivity of the "renaissance" in the musical settings of Italian composers with the music of the English, this concert explored the differing senses of early modern Self and Body that are displayed in the music, song, and dance of the Italian intermedio and the English masque.


In addition to Lanier, Musica Humana performed before a full audience group, solo and duet vocal works by composers Thomas Weelkes, Luca Marenzio, Alonso Ferrabosco II, Giovanni Felice Sances, Giulio Caccini, John Coperario, and John Wilson. A highlight of the evening was Erik Leidel's stirring and dramatic performance of Lanier's "Hero and Leander." Faculty cellist Elisabeth Le Guin provided accompaniment along with Gordon Haramaki and Erica Schenberg on the harpsichord.

The concert was made possible by a generous grant from the family of Professor Ciro Zoppo.
