Di là Cinzia sedea (prima parte of 2) (SSATTB) A member of a German family of musicians, Giorgio Florio (ca.1558-ca.1594) ran counter to the prevailing trend by emigrating to Italy. Long attached to the court of Maximilian II of Austria, he eventually became maestro di cappella at Treviso Cathedral, during which time his Primo libro a 6 was published. Stylistically, this publication appears to fall within the Venetian/Veneto orbit. “Di là Cinzia sedea” is a sprightly re-telling of a well-worn tale: a fickle nymph courted by a long-suffering shepherd.

Mentre vaga Angioletta (prima parte of 3) (SSATTB) In setting Guarini’s poem about a virtuosa singer and her effect upon her audience, Florio relied upon what appears to be an early and less polished draft of the text, but the result bears comparison with Caletti’s and Massaino’s settings (q.v.) in terms of what is revealed about the singer’s art.
