Scherzi Musicali

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Joel Cohen & The Boston Camerata

Scherzi musicali is a collection of secular vocal pieces by Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1607. The music blends late Renaissance polyphonic techniques with emerging early Baroque characteristics—such as heightened text expression, soloistic vocal writing and a greater role for basso continuo—reflecting Monteverdi's move toward the seconda pratica and a changing aesthetic in early 17th-century vocal music.
First released: 1970
