La Pellegrina
Hannah French sets the scene on some of the great music composed as incidental music to the 1579 play "La Pellegrina" or "The Pilgrim Woman".
Including work by the composers Francesco Corteccia, Emilio de Cavalieri, Christofano Malvezzi, Luca Marenzio
Matthias Werrecore and Jacopo Peri.
(I remember dimly that Peri was said to have written the first ever opera...Dafne 1598)
