Western religious music from different centuries: Giovanni Rovetta and Giovanni Antonio Rigatti.
Today’s programme is dedicated to two contemporaries of Claudio Monteverdi, who were also active in Venice: Giovanni Rovetta and Giovanni Antonio Rigatti.
Rovetta was an instrumentalist at San Marco from 1614 until his death and Rigatti worked as a teacher at two Ospedali (not hospitals, as the name might suggest, but charitable organisations/orphanages that also offered music lessons to their charges, and would eventually become world class music conservatories).
