This is a musical piece from Manuscript of Montecassino, compiled by Alfons the Magnanimous IV count of Barcelona, V King of Aragon, III of Valencia, I of Mallorca and I of Sicily and Naples.
Strambotto is one of the oldest Italian verse forms, composed of a single stanza of either six or eight hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines. Strambotti were particularly popular in Renaissance Sicily and Tuscany, and the origin of the form in either region is still uncertain (ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9125543/strambotto)
anytime I see Jordi Savall in various vids, I know I'm in for a musical delicacy. Beautiful recording, stunning video! Well done! Sorry this has been up so long with no views/comments, how did that happen? I just learned about YT, but good grief!!!
