ANAKRONOS | Citadel Of Song - CD

All ten of Boccaccios Decameron songs are in ballata form, a typical 14th century Italian song form. I plunged into the surviving codices, looking for ballate that most closely matched the syllable count; and, after carefully following the underlay of the original borrowed songs (exquisitely florid phrases, funkily syncopated hockets, rest-broken words and all), took them to my bandmates for us to use as the starting point in our (often very quick) journey to somewhere else entirely. Caitriona OLeary Disc 1 1. Io son sÌ vaga della mia bellezza 2. Qual donna cantera 3. Niuna Sconsolata 4. Regina Pretiosa 5. Lagrimando dimostro 6. Amor, la vaga luce Disc 2 1. Amor, s'io posso uscir de' tuoi artigli 2. Love's Claw 3. Deh, lassa la mia vita 4. Tanto e, Amore, il bene 5. Io mi son giovinetta 6. S'amor venisse senze gelosia 7. Irae Dance
