We're celebrating the lives and music of Heinrich Schütz and Giulio Caccini on today's show. The two composers lived about a generation apart, but both were gifted monodists- a style of music characterized by a single voice with chordal accompaniment. We'll hear performances by Marco Beasley, Dolores Costoyas, and the Ricercar Consort, from their 2024 release of music by Heinrich Schütz.
