Description: No texts. The subject of this release is the influence of Italian music in 17th- and 18th-century Portugal. Of special interest is the pair of modinhas, romantic songs popular in the salons of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie and probably imported from Brazil in the later 18th-century and also the use in the recording of the “violoncello da spalla”, played upon the right shoulder and tuned like today’s cello. Ellyptica.
