Brief:
A musical travelogue of Italy takes us on a brief overview of the country's music history spanning 2000 years of stylistic development and compositional trends. Its musical dominance especially during the Medieval Renaissance, and Baroque Periods has produced the likes of Palestrina, Monteverdi, Vivaldi, and Guido of Arezzo who have helped shaped the direction of the future composers from the Classical, Romantic, and Contemporary Periods. The operatic form that started with Peri and Monteverdi will see its golden age in the Romantic tradition of Rossini, Verdi, and Puccini while producing the vocal talents of Caruso and Pavarotti. Experience the various musical sounds of the different periods as they unfold over time and show how Italy's music and musicians have become a most important contribution to world music.
