Giovanni Cantarini (Tenor) - Le Miroir de Musique // In the Renaissance, the act of singing to the accompaniment of the lyre held a special symbolic role, linked to Orpheus and Apollo. With its origins in the mid-15th century, this recitation of epic and lyrical texts was first monophonic, accompanied by the lyra da braccio. With the invention of the lirone around 1500, the accompaniment develops into the recitative style of the 1600s which led to the development of the earliest operas.
