The sensual texts are an homage to the Virgin Mary. Her chaste, unattainable beauty is the focus of adoration, lending a quality of innocence to the erotic content of the texts.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe music is from a period when the church was in the process of accepting the musical influence of street music and folk theatre, which changed the style of church music. 'Formosa mea' features two seldom-performed Christmas cantatas, written by the female composer Franscesca Caccini and her colleague, Bonifatio Gratiani.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eSoprano Tone Wik has specialized for years in music of the Baroque period. She is in frequent demand as soloist and performs regularly with early music musicians and ensembles. On this CD she appears with a collection of distinguished performers: Vegard Lund (lute), Karolina Radziej (baroque violin), Johan Nicolai Mohn (recorder) and Christian Kjos (organ).\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Formosa mea' is Tone Wik's first release on the LAWO Classics label. Her two earlier solo recordings, 'Dolcissimo Sospiro' and 'Bellezza Crudell', have received glowing reviews in the international press.\u003cp\u003eMaria, Dolce Maria - Francesca Caccini (1587\\u2013ca. 1641)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJubilet Tota Civitas- Claudio Monteverdi (1567\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO Dulcissima Dilecta Mea - Stefano Bernardi (1580\\u20131638)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanzona Terza - Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExulta Filia Sion - Claudio Monteverdi (1567\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata IV - Alessandro Piccinini (1566\\u2013ca.1638)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Pi\\xe8 Della Gran Croce - Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata Decima - Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO Che Nuovo Stupor - Francesca Caccini (1587\\u2013ca. 1641)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToccata VIII - Alessandro Piccinini (1566\\u2013ca.1638)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvito All'allegrezza - Biagio Marini (1597\\u20131665)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO Quam Tu Pulchra Es - Alessandro Grandi (1575\\u20131630)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNigra Sum Sed Formosa - Tarquinio Merula (1595\\u20131665)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartite Sopra La Monica - Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583\\u20131643)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTorna Il Sereno Zefiro - Sigismondo D\\u2019 India 1(582\\u20131629)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrelude VI - Girolamo Kapsberger (ca. 1580\\u2013ca. 1651)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaudia Pastores - Bonifatio Gratiani (1604\/05\\u20131664)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169452310913,"sku":"605167","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51_sru1uFbL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768077729","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/605167","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
