Concertzender Naples; during the Early Music Festival 2019, we feature a daily hour of early music from Naples. Fifteenth-century music at the Spanish court in Naples.
During this hour, we will visit 15th-centry Naples. The Kingdom of Naples was reigned by Spanish Kings of the House of Aragón. Music was important at the Spanish-Neapolitan court. In 1451, the court chapel was the largest in the whole of Italy.
The Spanish kings had musicians and composers come over mainly from Spain. But they did not only employ Spanish composers. In those days, musicians travelled throughout Europe and, also in Naples, one could encounter people who originated from the Lower Countries in northwest Europe.
