The performances are entrusted to a vocal quintet (four male singers and one female voice), with the addition of a wind ensemble imitating that of the alta capella typical of the fifteenth century and a string ensemble consisting of harp, lute and viola d'arco, with sporadic use of the then-new viola da gamba. The flavour created is an evocative one. The tender and at the same time elegant language of many of the texts becomes more mischievous and insinuating in others, alternating with entertaining and lively instrumental pieces which are an invitation to dance. All this occurs naturally, without stridency. A supreme show of musical know-how and a model to be taken into account by performers and scholars. MARICARMEN GÓMEZ
