Synopsis

Album Description
This recording of music for organ opens with a Bergamasca by the baroque composer Bernardo Pasquini, and similarly concludes with the another Bergamasca by the late Renaissance composer Girolamo Frescobaldi. This very popular "canzone da ballo" (or dance song) in binary meter, originated from the province of the lovely Lombard city of Bergamo, and was widespread in the 16th and 17th centuries. Soon, organists would appropriate the dance form for themselves. This collection, published in Venice in 1635, is a veritable compendium of the most popular organ genres and forms of the time, and contains no fewer than forty-six pieces.
