An enticing glance at the wealth of music of Spanish origin with which northern Italy was awash - from the work of Spanish composers disseminated by Venice’s publishing trade to the ‘Contarini’ manuscript, one of the most atypical and curious sources of Spanish tonos humanos in that it was probably written by an Italian copyist, to be performed in a Venetian villa.  A glance, too, back towards the Iberian peninsula at the vast compendiums of vihuela music that defined so much of the region’s repertoire and contained, incidentally, some of the earliest designated harp music.
