Hathor Consort - Romina Lischka (Dir) // Was Coprario taking credit for someone else's work when, under his own name, he made transcriptions of more than 50 Italian madrigals for a consort of viols? Such an accusation would be based on false premises, as anything resembling copyright was unknown at the beginning of the 17th century; the use of musical material was rather considered as a respectful examination of ideas that were so promising that one wanted to think them through further.
