Info for Music from the Time of Boccaccio's Decameron (Remastered)
Music from the time of Boccaccio's Decameron (14th century Italy) included secular forms like ballate and saltarelli, with composers such as Francesco Landini and Lorenzo Masini active during this period. While some specific songs mentioned in the text feature prominently, like Minuccio d'Arezzo's "Muoviti Amore," the actual music for these pieces often survives only in the written lyrics. Performing ensembles like The Pampinea Ensemble and Ensemble Decameron have created recordings of this music, using instruments such as the recorder, pipe and tabor, and organetto to evoke the sounds of the era.
