Il Pastor Fido

First published in 1590, Guarini’s pastoral tragicommedia was not only a highly popular literary work: it also become a primary source of texts for composers of madrigals and monodies throughout the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Featuring complex webs of love affairs and a vivid mythological-pastoral setting, the poem inspired some of the most harmonically-adventurous and dramatic musical settings of the period, including Caccini’s famous Amirilli mia bella. The program will also feature works Monteverdi, Marenzio, Pallavicino and Wert.
