Overview
Dive into the theatrical and humorous world of the late Italian Renaissance with Old Masters' Mixed Choruses Vol. 20 (Régi mesterek vegyeskarai 20). This volume features the uniquely inventive works of Adriano Banchieri, a pioneer of the "madrigal comedy." Published in June 1974 by Editio Musica Budapest, this collection captures Banchieri's knack for musical satire and storytelling. Edited by the distinguished conductor Ferenc Szekeres and translated by the poet-pedagogue László Lukin, these pieces range from festive processionals to the famous "animal" songs where singers imitate various creatures. With flexible vocal settings for both 3-part and 5-part ensembles, this 24-page B/5 booklet is a delightful addition for any choir looking to perform early music with character, wit, and historical charm.

Interesting Facts
- The Pioneer of Madrigal Comedy: Adriano Banchieri was one of the first composers to string together independent madrigals to create a narrative arc, often referred to as "musical drama" before the formal invention of opera.
- The Famous "Animals": This volume includes the "Állati" dalocska (Contrapunto bestiale alla mente), one of the most famous pieces of Renaissance humor, where voices mimic a cat, a dog, a cuckoo, and an owl over a serious Gregorian chant-like bass line.
- Szekeres Ferenc’s Expertise: The editor was a leading authority on early music in Hungary and founded the Budapest Madrigal Choir, ensuring these editions are both academically sound and highly performable.
- Prosody and Translation: László Lukin's translations are legendary for their ability to preserve the comedic timing and phonetic playfulness of the original Italian while making the text feel natural for Hungarian singers.
