ANTONIO ZACARA DA TERAMO // "Cacciando per gustar" by Aquila Altera ensemble

This original program, titled Paradigma Medioevo, aims at highlighting the cultural and creative liveliness of the Italian medieval music scene between the 14th and 15th centuries.
The Middle Ages, cultural connections were intense and manifold, reflecting a society that was not self-referential and closed in on itself, but which, on the contrary, had a strong sense of relationships and exchange. Apart from some well known names we find also compositions by anonymous musicians whose music has been handed down to us but unfortunately whose names have not. Nonetheless they greatly contributed to enriching the Medieval musical heritage. Included in the program are Francesco Landini, Antonio Zacara da Teramo, Andrea da Firenze and the anonymous musicians of the Rossi, Squarcialupi, London and Faenza codice.
