An educational programme featuring early music.

The lute song – songs with lute accompaniment – from the sixteenth and seventeenth century.

The seventeenth century was the Golden Age of music for the whole of Europe, particularly for Italy. The strict contrapuntal polyphonic style, for example in Palestrina’s works, made way for a new singing style: the monody, a style of accompanied solo song.

Today, we look at lute songs. This was a musical form that gifted amateurs could play easily.
