Summary of This Score

This collection brings together the famous "Balletti (1594)" by Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi, in a version intended for a recorder trio (S/A/T). Originally conceived as pieces to sing and dance to, these pages of Italian Renaissance music retain a very rhythmic energy, clear imitative formulas, and a sense of refrain that make them excellent material for developing ensemble cohesion, collective breathing, and attack quality within an ensemble.

The set includes 16 numbers with strongly characterized personalities, each evoking a "character": Il Ballerino, La Cortigiana, Lo Spensierato, Il Tedesco, Il Luchesino, Lo Sdegnato, Il Prigioniero, Il Felice, Il Risentito, L'Humorista, Il Curioso, Il Costante, Il Tormentato, Il Fortunato, L'Invaghito, and El Passionao. This diversity allows for working on contrasts in dynamics, tempi, and articulations (detached playing, slurs, accents) while remaining within an accessible and rewarding harmonic language.

Thanks to its clear writing and dance spirit, this score is particularly suited for ensemble workshops, auditions, early music projects, or simply the pleasure of making a recorder trio sound with an essential historical repertoire.
