But warfare is also a metaphor and sign of the battles to which the existence is voted: amorous disputes, moral duels ... In a word: the dialectic between shadow and light that which incessantly beats life. Shadow and light that has marked, according to the contemporary chronicle, also one of the symbolic events of the Italian Renaissance: he Battle of Anghiari.  \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Battle of Anghiari was fought on 29th June 1440 between the forces of Milan and those of the Italian league led by Florence, during the Wars of Lombardy. It is said, in fact, that the Milanese troops remained as blinded by an invasive and omnipresent light that prevented them from seeing the enemy and therefore the Florentines won the day and in doing so secured dominion over central Italy.  The battle is well known for its depiction in a now lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci, hence the title of this album. Rubens completed a copy of da Vinci's work which is now exhibited int the Louvre.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the musical journey portrayed on this album, the battle is interpreted both in its factual and metaphorical dimension: from the love battles (Dufay, Berchem, Conforti) to the battles tout court (Banchieri, Werrecore); from the theme of the return (Dowland) to the autobiographical story (Hume); to the end with a gratitude for the victory (De Victoria) which, after all, brings everyone together: winners and losers, light and shadow, now regained in peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Byrd: The Drum And Flute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicoletta Andreuccetti: Del Visibile Dell\\u2019invisibile: L\\u2019Affresco Perduto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuillaume Dufay: Donne L\\u2019assault A La Fortresse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Gabrieli: Intonazione Del VII Tono\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom\\xe1s Luis De Victoria: Estote Fortes In Bello\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacquet De Berchem: Le Donne, I Cavallier, L\\u2019arme, Gli Amori\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacquet De Berchem: O Gran Bont\\xe0 De Cavallieri Antiqui\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTobias Hume: Soldier\\u2019s March\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Battista Conforti: Non Rumor Di Tamburi O Suon Di Trombe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Dowland: My Lord Willoughby\\u2019s Welcome Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Ferretti: Mettetevi In Battaglia, Pensier Miei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGioseffo Guami: Canzona Sopra La Battaglia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMathias Hermann Werrecore: O Signori Italiani\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMathias Hermann Werrecore: El Gran Duca Milanese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnibale Padovano: Battaglia A 8\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Gabrieli: Intonazione Del II Tono\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom\\xe1s Luis De Victoria: Te Deum Laudamus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55133595337089,"sku":"1130747","price":12.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51M-mRkTtnL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767069367","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1130747","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
