This week's program 08-20: The Art of Diminution

PROMO: Instrumentalists have been imitating the human voice for hundreds of years. During the Renaissance, a cornettist or violinist would have gone even further by taking a popular song and improvising diminutions on it. This week on Harmonia, we'll listen to examples of how instrumentalists created diminutions out of music by Palestrina, Crequillon, and others. We'll also listen to a new release by Le Concert d'Astree of Monterverdi arias and duets.

SHORT PROMO: This week on Harmonia we'll listen to examples of how instrumentalists created diminutions out of music by Palestrina, Crequillon, and others.
