	Florentine Camerata
		The Florentine Camerata was a group of humanists, musicians, poets and intellectuals in late Renaissance Florence that gathered under the patronage of Count Giovanni de Bardi to discuss and guide trends in the arts, especially music and drama.
		The criticism of contemporary music by the Camerata centered on the overuse of polyphony, at the expense of intelligibility of the sung text.
		Intrigued by ancient descriptions of the emotional and moral effect of ancient Greek tragedy and comedy, which they presumed to be sung as a single line to a simple instrumental accompaniment, they proposed creating a new kind of music.

		The Cincinnati Camerata, founded in 1992 by Christian Miller, continues this tradition of choral excellence: we sing music covering a broad range of styles, and every member of the ensemble is dedicated to the highest performance standards, regardless of musical style.
		A camerata in Renaissance Italy was a group small enough to perform in a room (as, indeed, all chamber music implies performance by a group small enough to play in a room smaller than a modern concert hall).
		The Florentine Camerata actively advocated the development of new musical forms and thus had a significant influence on the evolution of Renaissance musical style.

	Annibale Gianuario - The Camerata
		The Camerata Fiorentina, or, to be more precise, the Camerata de Giovanni Bardi des Contes de Vernio is the remarkable outcome of humanistic research into the Art of Music as defined by Plato, and it was the Bardi, the Corsi and the Medicis who helped carry this research through to a successful conclusion.
		It is interesting to point out certain documents which help us to realize the general atmosphere which gave rise to those major artistic events of the Renaissance which left their vigorous mark on the noble courts of Italy and Europe (see Angelo Grillo's letter from Venice in 1608, addressed to Giulio Caccini).
		We have been able to glimpse the number of elements which must be borne in mind by those who wish to perform that music which embodies the poiesis of the Florentine school in Bardi's Camerata Fiorentina, of Monteverdi, and of other exponents of the seconda pratica.

	Music from the Renaissance and Baroque
		The members of the Florentine Camerata, a group of Italian intellectuals at the end of the sixteenth century, felt that listeners would be unable to distinguish the words themselves, let alone be moved by a true perception of the emotional content of a given text.
		This radical departure from the Renaissance concept of the way text should be set to music resulted in a completely different musical texture from the polyphony common during the Renaissance.
		Although there were precedents in accompanied song, nothing that had existed previously was quite the same as the genre of monody that resulted from the activities of several members of the Florentine Camerata, including Giulio Caccini and Jacopo Peri.

	Ricercares by Vincenzo Galilei
		Vincenzo Galilei mastered the lute at a young age, studied the music of the Turks and Moors, researched ancient Greek music, contributed to the Florentine Camerata -- and fathered an illustrous if ill-fated son, the scientist and philosopher.
		Vincenzo's study of ancient Greek music provided him with a basis for his experiments in the new musical style and let to the writing of his Dialogo della musica antica e della moderna (1591), in which he attacks the elaborate polyphonic style of the sixteenth century.
		His activities were an important contribution to the efforts of the Florentine Camerata, the circle of musicians and amateurs that invented the new stile recitativo that finally led to the birth of opera.
