The Heart is Burning - Lost love songs of Maddalena Casulana
About
Join Melbourne’s premier vocal ensemble for an unforgettable afternoon of musical discovery as, for the first time in Australia, The Consort of Melbourne breathes life into the lost madrigals of Maddalena Casulana. Thought incomplete, the recent discovery of a lost partbook allows these captivating works to be performed for the first time in 400 years. Something of a musical celebrity of the Italian Renaissance, Casulana defied societal norms to become the first female composer to appear in print – hear the boundary-breaking music that made her the ‘muse and siren’ of her time.Selections from this lost book of five-part madrigals will be interleaved with vocal gems by Claudio Monteverdi, Hubert Parry, Max Reger, Dan Walker and others – each reflecting an aspect of Casulana’s work. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate a pioneer of musical history, and the rich tradition of storytelling through intimate vocal harmony that continues today.
