Music of Old Adriatic is a vinyl album by Ensemble Renaissance, released in 1984 on the PGP RTB label. It is their first album with early music of Dalmatia and Adriatic and their second album overall. The A side of the record deals with the composers who were born on the territory of modern Dalmatia, in the parts which were Venetian at the time, such as Andrea Antico, Franciscus Bossinensis and Giacomo Gorzanis . The B side deals with authentic Dalmatian composers of the renaissance, like Petar Hektorović. The ensemble will revisit the theme of the early Dalmatian music in 1999 with their CD Journey through Dalmatia.

Content

Early in the 15th century the ideas of Humanism in Croatia brought about changes to the world of music.[1] Interest in music began to spread outside of monastic and church walls with growing influence of new spiritual tendencies from Central European and particularly Italian cities. The writing down of folk and popular music began in mid-sixteenth century: in the poem Fishing and Fishermen's Talk from 1558, Petar Hektorović ingrained Neoplatonic ideals in popular music; and transcripts of Croatian musical folklore were printed in Venetian anthologies. New tendencies of early Baroque monody soon found their way into the domestic musical tradition, both sacral and secular. Tomaso Cecchini, from Verona, who spent his entire working life (1603–44) as a choirmaster, organist and composer in Split and Hvar, published his madrigals Armonici concetti, libro primo (1612) as the oldest Baroque collection written for the Croatian milieu.
