butterflydreaming: "Cris", in blocks with a blinking cat (Default)
[personal profile] butterflydreaming
During dinner on Easter, I put on "Spring" (Vivaldi) like a basic bitch, but totally enjoyed it. Yeah, still makes me feel 17.

Today since I actually had time to be deliberate about Baroque music, I chose one of the early composers, Claudio Monteverde.

I am currently clawing the walls over his madrigals. And internally screaming about not knowing that they existed until now. Also, today I learned that Shakespeare did not make up a fake country called Mantua; Mantua is a real Italian city. And OMG, so is Verona! That... is the funniest thing to me. I always thought that Verona was fake-Venice.

Apparently, the only fictional Shakespearean countries are Arden and Romance.

EDIT: Oh heck, I recognize this one! (Amor)
