Microtonal Music of the Renaissance

The avant-garde Renaissance composer Nicola Vicentino devised an innovative solution to the limitations of meantone temperament. He constructed a 31-tone-per-octave scale and invented microtonal keyboard instruments capable of playing his music, the archicembalo and arciorgano. Join Jacob Adler in this 90-minute exploration of Vicentino's tuning system and music which continues to shock ears in the 21st century.
