Schiarazula... arie e danze dal '200 al '600

With Luisa Lauri on recorders and Cristina Tarquini, voice.

Schiarazula is a more complex, more "constructed" work: it took four months and several sessions to complete. It includes early music pieces transcribed by Luisa Lauri and me for an early music ensemble of recorders, archlute, bassoon, voice and percussion, with guitars on some tracks, including a suite of mine composed in Renaissance style.

I call it complex because all the second melodic lines of the recorder were overdubbed by Luisa Lauri, and we both overdubbed the percussion.

Schiarazula covers a full range of instrumental settings, from voice accompanied by lute to the full ensemble, two guitars, flute and guitar and so on, to vary what the listener hears and keep it enjoyable.
