    Product Notes

    Born in the northern Italian coastal

    town of Chioggia about 1555, organist

    and composer Paolo Quagliati played a

    part historically in having transplanted

    to Rome the Florentine recitative style

    and developing it in the direction of a

    concertato style of several voices with

    instruments.

    Brought back to life after almost 400

    years, his La Sfera armoniosa (1623) is

    composed of 25 numbers with texts for

    the most part by Battista Guarini.

    The music, composed entirely by

    Quagliati but for two villanellas by

    Stefano Landi, reflects the staid Italian

    academic and emerging modern styles

    of the time.
