About

Alessandro Grandi is regarded as one of the finest composers from the early 17th century – he was for a time Monterverdi’s deputy. The Motetti a cinque voci is Grandi’s third known publication, originally for mixed voices, and dedicated to Margherita Gonzaga d’Este, wife of Alfonso II. After his death, she retired to a Clarissan convent (dedicated to St Clare). The works are presented here in the manner in which Margherita may have heard them performed in the convent.
 
Also featured on this CD is music from the film “Fallen” – a collaboration between Musica Secreta, playwright Fiona Mackie, director Anthony Richards and filmmaker T. Perrin Sledge. Premiered at the 2006 Brighton Early Music Festival, inspired by the story of Camilla Faà Gonzaga, it depicts the anguished and erotic dream of a young 17th century girl on the eve of her forced enclosure within the convent.
 
Musica Secreta was founded in 1990 and has been dedicated to the recovery, performance and recording of music associated with women in the early modern period. Their mission is not just to promote works by female composers but also to increase knowledge of and restore respect for women’s agency in Renaissance and early Baroque music.
