Foundation Musick’s Monument
The Stichting Musick’s Monument produces Art DVDs, partly in association with scholars from the Chair of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA).
Pictures, music and text are integrated: You will hear music from the same period and the same area of origin as the visual materials; these are supplemented with explanatory subtitles.
From this combination evolves something like a Gesamtkunstwerk (a total work of art), a complete new way of digital art presentation.
Composer and singer. After instruction with Giovanni Animuccia in Rome, he studied with Scipione delle Palle in Florence, under Medici patronage. By 1579 he was singing at the Medici court. His earliest known compositional endeavor came in 1589, when he contributed a song to an intermedio for the marriage of Duke Ferdinand I. Initially his fame spread chiefly through his singing: by the 1580s he was singing regularly for Ippolito Aldobrandini in Ferrara and for the Este court there.
Giulio Caccini (c. 1550-1618)
