With Renaissance, Shani Diluka embarks on a musical exploration of the era of the same name, which laid the foundation for Western thought and sensibility. She focuses primarily on two key centers of influence: humanist Italy and Elizabethan England. Program: I. Renaissance music, emergence and dissemination of the first scores thanks to Gutenberg (Eccles, Dowland, Byrd, etc.) II. Renaissance and early humanists: music of the spheres becomes music of the humanities (Palestrina, Monteverdi, Frescobaldi, etc.) III. The Renaissance and the Golden Ratio: proportion and beauty (Purcell, Handel, etc.) IV. The Renaissance, a decisive legacy in the history of music thanks to polyphony, harmony, and the development of the relationship between text and music (Scarlatti, Bach, etc.)
