jan 1, 1590 - "Vedrò 'l mio sol" Caccini
Description:
Madrigal from Caccini's collection Le nuove musiche, written for solo voice and basso continuo. Very popular with his pals at the Camerata. Classified as a solo madrigal as opposed to an aria because the text is through-composed rather than strophic. Afforded soloists greater opportunity to showcase their voices.Added to timeline:
