Description
Andrea Antico was a printer from Dalmatia who obtained, through the first Medici Pope, Leo X, a monopoly on printing keyboard music. His 1517 collection of frottole - a quasi-rustic word meaning a deceitful, silly story - contains highly advanced, but textually corrupt arrangements of part-songs for keyboard made by an anonymous musician. This world première recording of the complete Frottole Intabulate incorporates a new edition by harpsichordist Glen Wilson. Frottola means a deceitful, silly story. They were wildly popular songs in the later part of the fifteenth and the first third of the sixteenth centuries. An anonymous musician arranged them for keyboard and they were then published by the printer Andrea Antico in 1517.The arrangements were radical for the time and the arranger succeeded in producing a real polyphonic keyboard style. Some were performed by organist Kimberly Marshall on the Loft label in 2002 and just a few by Silvano Rodi on Gall in the same year.
