Contrapunto Bestiale alla Mente


Ildhafn Music Catalogue [1]  ~   Crescent Isles Dance-music [2]


Date: 
16th C
Discussion: 

Aka "The Animal Noise Song", by Adriano Banchieri. The first and last sections are "falala"s, and in the middle each line imitates a different animal.

Sound: 

There are numerous recordings online. Some performances are faithful to the music as written, some ham it up a great deal.

Computer-generated sound files to help learn parts:

  • All parts [3]
  • Bass [4]
  • Tenor [5] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Alto [6] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Soprano 2 [7] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Soprano 1 [8] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Tenor and Soprano 1 together [9] (closely related, so I thought this might be useful)

The bass line, but an octave higher [10] than normal, and an octave lower [11] than normal.

The same, but at half speed:

  • All parts, slow [12]
  • Bass, slow [13]
  • Tenor, slow [14] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Alto, slow [15] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Soprano 2, slow [16] (plus bass in animal-noise section)
  • Soprano 1, slow [17] (plus bass in animal-noise section)

See note below [18] about S1 and S2 swapping parts on the final line.
