YEMFRIENDS Coffee Concert
Serenade for Isabella: The Casanatense Chansonnier was a wedding gift for the renowned Isabella d’Este in Ferrara in 1492 but also served as a repertoire book for her piffari, or court wind-players.
The Festival’s Ensemble in Residence, [hanse]Pfeyffery, perform works from the Chansonnier based on vocal originals by the likes of Dufay, Agricola and Josquin, alongside instrumentally conceived pieces from Southern Germany, reflecting the powerful cultural exchanges that occurred at the Italian courts and which created a new secular repertory that would become widely popular across Europe.
