The Classical Music Minute

Who were the Florentine Camerata?


Listen Later

In this minute of classical music history, I’ll delve into the make-up and influences of the Florentine Camerata. They had a big impact on the arts in the latter part of the 16th century, more specifically the development of a new kind of music.

Fun Fact:
Did you know that Jacopo Peri’s Dafne (1598) is said to be the first opera ever written? Apparently, Jacopo might have popped in on Camerata meetings every once in a while to get the latest scoop.
