Giovanni Boccaccio set his collection of novellas within a frame-story of young Florentines escaping the city to avoid the Black Death. In their secluded villa, they entertain one another with songs, dances, and a wide variety of stories: comic, tragic, heroic, and erotic, rich in the observation of human nature and acerbic social commentary. In our final season programme, we present a sampling of Boccaccio’s narratives, paired with Florentine vocal and instrumental music by such composers as Jacopo da Bologna, Bartolino da Padova, Andrea da Firenze, and Francesco Landini.
