Ciao Adriano - Dionysos Now!

Centuries before ‘Ode an die Freude’ became the European anthem, polyphonists like Adriaan Willaert wrote music that was understood everywhere. Long before we excelled in cyclocross and brewing Trappist beer, we had Adriaan Willaert. The man from Rumbeke moved to Paris to study law, but eventually chose music. In 1527, he became maestro di cappella of the San Marco and founded the Venetiaanse School there. Tussen Josquin and Palestrina would prove to be no more influential. With seven soothing voices and polyphony that circulated everywhere in Europe five hundred years ago, Dionysos Now! pays homage to Willaert's legacy.
