Two Gentlemen of Verona - The Music of the 14th Century Vol. 1

Two Gentlemen of Verona is an anthology of recordings of the secular music of medieval France and Italy. This volume contains works by Jacopo da Bologna and Giovanni da Firenze.

The Music of the 14th Century Vol. 1.

Jacopo da Bologna and Giovanni da Firenze are the most prolific representatives of the first known generation of Italian polyphonic composition. These works were written under the patronage of the della Scala family in Verona and the Visconti family in Milan, and exemplify the "sweetness and intricacy" of their melodies.
