The Naples of Antonio Valente (c1520-1600) was the principal city of the Spanish Empire of the day, second only to Istanbul of Mediterranean cities in population, a cultural and intellectual hub where ideas were traded as readily as goods at the port. This is the context for ready wit and vivid characters dancing before us in the harpsichord manuscript left to us as the principal work of an instrumental virtuoso who was blind from birth.
Little else is known of Valente, though he became an organist in one of the city’s private chapel between 1565 and 1580, and we know that this Intavolatura was published in 1576, by which time the composer’s reputation had spread
far beyond the kingdom of Naples. It seems certain that the collection was the first of its kind to be written in southern Italy. These are popular dances rather than original melodies, and Valente transcribes and elaborates them in various genres of song and dance: there are hymns (a Salve Regina), galliards, ricercars, ballads, even a flamboyant ‘Bascia Flammignia’, placed in exuberant juxtaposition, hardly designed to be heard in strict order but a collection to delight and entertain.
The Intavolatura does so here, thanks to the imaginative re-instrumentation and sparkling performances of an Italian early-music ensemble, L’Amorosa Caccia. The songs are reattributed to a pair of singers (Giulia Valentini and Marcos Garcia Gutierrez), accompanied by two violas da gamba and a recorder, with the overall artistic direction undertaken from the keyboard by Fabio Antonio Falcone.
Antonio Valente lived and worked in 16th century Napoli, then under Spanish rule and the cultural hotspot of Europe. Valente’s Intavolatura de Cimbalo is the first Neapolitan publication for keyboard instrument and the first that shows the word harpsichord in the title. This is very important because it shows that Valente (who just one year before published «Versi Spirituali per sonar negli organi») clearly wanted to differentiate the composition style between harpsichord and organ (until that time, but also later, this difference is not clear yet). Intavolatura can be considered as an opera omnia collecta as far as it contains all the musical forms of that time: instrumental music (6 ricercari and 1 fantasia), elaboration on a cantus firmus (a Salve Regina), 4 chansons with diminutions, dances on tenori italiani (Zefiro, Passo e mezzo, Romanesca, Gagliarda Napolitana, Intorcia etc) and balli (Ballo Lombardo etc.).
Sung and played by the Ensemble L’Amorosa Caccia, two singers, violas da gamba and recorders, directed from the harpsichord and virginal by Fabio Antonio Falcone, a specialist in this repertoire (he recorded already works by Cavazzoni, Antico and De Macque for Brilliant).
