    Overview

    Esperar, Sentir, Morir:Street dances and courtly songs inseventeenth-century Spain and Italy

    Folk dances and popular song fed the imaginations ofcomposers four centuries ago, flowing freely into workscreated for the aristocratic households and princelypalaces of Italy and Spain.

    Le Poème Harmonique,experts in the rhetoric, rhythmic inflections and poeticnuance of baroque music, show why dances suchas the Spanish canario and jacara and the Italianciaccona and passacaglia proved equally irresistibleto refined audiences at court and jostling crowdsin the street.
