The French court of King Charles VIII attracted an abundance of musical talent. Some of the 15th century’s most celebrated composers, such as Alexander Agricola and Loyset Compère, were a part of Charles’s entourage and provided musical entertainments both in times of peace in France and on military campaign in Italy. Throughout this period the European printing revolution was in full swing. In 1501, and in the wake of Charles’s failed Italian campaigns, printer Ottaviano Petrucci published the first significant collection of polyphonic music, the Harmonice Musices Odhecaton. Drawing on this groundbreaking publication, The French (Italian) Connection will demonstrate the interconnected musical tastes of Renaissance Europe and immerse listeners in the cosmopolitan soundscape of Charles’s court.
