So Ben Mi Chi Ha Bon Tempo
''So ben mi chi ha bon tempo'' or ''So ben mi, c'ha bon tempo'' ('I know well who is having a good time') is a balletto written by the Italian composer Orazio Vecchi. It appears in the 1590 publication ''Selva di varia ricreatione'', for three to ten voices and is dedicated to Giacomo Seniori and Giovanni Fuccari. These works were written during Vecchi's tenure as canon at the Correggio Cathedral. Typical of the era, the lyrics are descriptive of the gossipy flirtations between men and women, alluding on multiple levels to intimacies between unnamed protagonists. So ben mi ch'a bon tempo, Al so ma basta mo So ben ch'e favorito, Ahimé no'l posso dir, O s'io potessi dire, Chi va, chi sta, chi vien. Saluti e baciamani, Son tutti indarno a fè. It has an associated dance by Italian dance master Cesare Negri in 1602 from his book ''Le Gratie d’Amore''. In 2003 the song was arranged for guitar and performed by songwriter Richard Thompson on his live album 1000 Years of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orazio Vecchi
Orazio Vecchi (6 December 1550 (baptized) in Modena – 19 February 1605) was an Italian composer of the late Renaissance. He is most famous for his madrigal comedies, particularly ''L'Amfiparnaso''. Life He was born in Modena, and studied with Salvatore Essenga, a Servite monk there. In addition he prepared for holy orders with early education at the Benedictine monastery, and took holy orders sometime before 1577. By the end of the 1570s he was well-connected with the composers of the Venetian school (for example Claudio Merulo and Giovanni Gabrieli) since he collaborated with them in writing a sestina for a ducal marriage. During this period he accompanied Count Baldassare Rangoni on his travels, going to Bergamo and Brescia. He was ''maestro di cappella'' (director of music) at the Salò cathedral between 1581 and 1584. Following this, he was the choirmaster at the cathedral of Reggio Emilia, until 1586. In that year he moved to Correggio where he was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cesare Negri
Cesare Negri (c. 1535 – c. 1605) was an Italian dancer and choreographer. He was nicknamed ''il Trombone'', an ugly or jocular name for someone "who likes to blow his own horn". Born in Milan, he founded a dance academy there in 1554. He was an active court choreographer for the nobility in Milan. He wrote ''Le Grazie d'Amore'', the first text on ballet theory to expound the principle of the five basic positions. It was republished in 1604 as ''Nuove Inventioni di Balli'' (New Inventions of the Dance). Like other masters of the time as mentioned above, Césare Negri wanted to reap the fruits of his work in a theoretical and practical treatise, so he wrote the treatise "Thanks of Love" in 1602 (La gratia d'amore) Whose second edition appeared under the title of "New Inventions of Dance", in 1604, where they describe the five fundamental positions of the academic dance. It is a work that contains three parts, of which the second rule 55 technical rules, while in the third figu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1000 Years Of Popular Music
''1000 Years of Popular Music'' is a 2003 live album by Richard Thompson. The album was originally conceived after Richard Thompson, along with many other artists, was asked by ''Playboy'' magazine to nominate his choice of the best songs of the millennium in anticipation of the year 2000. Although the magazine intended the use of the term "millennium" to be hyperbole that emphasized the end of the 2nd millennium, Thompson, in an act of malicious compliance, followed these instructions exactly as they were worded, and produced a list which did span 1000 years of music, including the oldest-known English-language songs, a medieval Italian dance tune, and various other folk songs, alongside slightly more contemporary fare. The list was never published by ''Playboy''; it was subsequently released into CD format. The songs comprising the track list cover a roughly thousand-year period, 1068–2001, starting with " Sumer Is Icumen In". The most recent song included on the album is Br ...

Gustave Reese
Gustave Reese ( ; 29 November 1899 – 7 September 1977) was an American musicologist and teacher. Reese is known mainly for his work on medieval and Renaissance music, particularly with his two publications ''Music in the Middle Ages'' (1940) and ''Music in the Renaissance'' (1954); these two books remain the standard reference works for these two eras, with complete and precise bibliographical material, allowing for almost every piece of music mentioned to be traced back to a primary source.

He studied law at New York University, graduating in 1921. Though he was admitted to the New York State Bar, he opted to re-enroll and pursue a Bachelor of Music from NYU, which he received in 1930.

Renaissance Dance
Renaissance dances belong to the broad group of historical dances. During the Renaissance period, there was a distinction between country dances and court dances. Court dances required the dancers to be trained and were often for display and entertainment, whereas country dances could be attempted by anyone. At Court, the formal entertainment would often be followed by many hours of country dances which all present could join in. Dances described as country dances such as Chiarantana or Chiaranzana remained popular over a long period – over two centuries in the case of this dance. A Renaissance dance can be likened to a ball. Knowledge of court dances has survived better than that of country dances as they were collected by dancing masters in manuscripts and later in printed books. The earliest surviving manuscripts that provide detailed dance instructions are from 15th century Italy. The earliest printed dance manuals come from late 16th century France and Italy. The earliest da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
