Crisalide, by Federica Bianchi and Peppe Frana, is an amazing journey in
the world of the "intavolature" of the XIVth century for clavicimbalum
and lute or chitarrino. Music by Johannes Ciconia, Francesco Landini,
Jacopo da Bologna, Pierre Des Molins.
“Intavolare” means to adapt a pre-existing polyphonic composition for the performance on an
instrument capable of reproducing the various voices simultaneously
and, with the acquisition offrets occurred during the fifteenth century,
the lute joined the early “intavolatori” instruments such as the
liturgical organ, the portative organ and the archaic cymbalum, as
revealed by the expression “in cytaris vel etiam in organis” written in
comment on a composition of the Buxheimer codex.
This work
explores the interaction between plucked and keyboard instruments in the
interpretation of the 14th and 15th century repertoires, presenting
examples taken from medieval Italian and Mittle-European keyboard music
literature together with original adaptations of vocal and contemporary
instrumental repertoire.
Like a chrysalis, this peculiar
moment of western music history expresses together the embryonic stage
of what the instrumental music of the following centuries will largely
become and the fruitfulness and the mystery of those transitional
moments of human culture that by escaping from the retrospective
periodizations of historiographical studies at the same time facilitate
our comprehension of those in a crucial way.
