We
are interested in music as it relates to 16th century
Commedia. That is, we are interested but have only
modest personal knowledge. What we do know is that
Commedia was presented in a variety of different venues,
and that later period performances happened in theatres
with good production capabilities for wealthy people.
Early period work was done, more often than not, in
a noisy market place. We see drawings of people with
guitars, and sometimes other instruments. In this
section we include links and discussion of period
music associated with Commedia dell' Arte, both before
and during the shows.
i
Guillari di Piazza do a wonderful job with very compelling
music, though clearly they are following a later tradition
than we are. We cannot use their brilliant Tarantella
style music. Some researchers have pointed to Madrigal,
Canaria, and Moresca music as being among the forms
most consistant with our period
