Malvezzi, Christoforo: 2 Sinfonie (1598)

for 6 instruments.

These two sinfonie are taken from the Intermedii (entertainments introduced between the acts of plays) that were part of the celebrations for the marriage of Ferdinand de´ Medici and Christine of Lorraine in Florence in 1589. Cristoforo (Cristofano) Malvezzi (1547-1599), a leading Florentine musician, contributed many of the pieces; other composers represented were Peri and Cavalieri.
The music for the event was published two years later by Giacomo Vincenti in Venice under the title Intermedii // et concerti Fatti per la Commedia rappresentata in Firenze / Nelle Nozze del Serenissimo Don Ferdinando Medici/ e Madama Christiana di Loreno ... together with some descriptions of the event.
In this edition the original note values have been halved in the second piece, retained in the first. A few editorial accidentals appear above the stave, applying to the one note only.
