About this concert
Filippotto and Antonello da Caserta were the first Neapolitan composers whose music was preserved. It is anything but primitive: these two belong amongst the prominent representatives of ars subtilior and the melodic Italian style which musicologist Nino Pirrotta christened ‘dulcedo’. La Fonte Musica immerses itself in the heritage of the first Neapolitan School, and gives us a taste of both early notated compositions and the unwritten traditions.

About the performers
la fonte musica was founded by Michele Pasotti and specializes in the interpretation of late medieval music, with special focus on the Italian Trecento. A vital element in this is philological research, which involves returning to the roots of medieval polyphony, exploring the deeper meaning of the texts and the musical choices present in the compositions. The name of the ensemble alludes to the fountain, a topos in medieval poetry, a place of regeneration and life, and a symbol of pleasure.
