About

Giovanni Battista Riccio lived in Venice when the city’s music was dominated by illustrious figures such as Monteverdi and Gabrieli. Riccio won aristocratic patrons and his surviving three collections of sacred music, which also contain instrumental compositions, attest to his standing in the city and beyond. His music is flowing and full of variety, not least in the liveliness of motifs, use of binary and triple time, sound painting and employment of echo effects. His motets setting passages from the Song of Songs, offer unusually expressive and refined depth.
