## Commentary

Callisto Piazza spent his formative years in Brescia, where he was deeply influenced by both Romanino and Moretto. This Concert, one of his greatest secular work, is a prime early example of a genre extremely popular in northern Italy. It shows a group of six men and women singing and playing instruments that include two recorders, a lyra da braccio, and a lute.Before them are two open part books, whose musical notations are largely legible. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 5 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/16\_cent/gesualdo\_motet.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Don Carlo Gesualdo: Motet&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
