An extract from yesterday's concert of DEA Ensemble's - Domus Ars - Naples, Italy. Rinascimento. Una rimembranza, un auspicio ed un augurio. “Madonna, Tu Mi fai Lo Scorrucciato“ (My Lady, You Make Me Frown) is a lament, typical of the song of the '500, which inacts the torment of a “carnal betrayal of love“. Both the author of the text and the composer are anonymous, as well as the score for 4 mixed voices. The song is well known, most often performed as a “Villanella“ (A Napoli's typical folk song of Renaissance) for solo vocals and instrumental accompaniment, and was brought to renown in the '70s by the Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare.
