Stylus Phantasticus (CD review)
Tekla Cunningham, baroque violin; Pacific MusicWorks. Reference Recordings Fresh! FR-742.By John J. PuccioStylus phantasticus (or Stylus fantasticus) means “fantastical style,” and it refers to a genre of early Baroque music, derived particularly from the toccatas and fantasies of sixteenth-century Italian composers like Claudio Merulo and Girolamo Frescobaldi. In a book on the subject, the German Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher wrote, "The fantastic style is especially suited to instruments. It is the most free and unrestrained method of composing, it is bound to nothing, neither to any words nor to a melodic subject, it was instituted to display genius and to teach the hidden design of harmony and the ingenious composition of harmonic phrases and fugues."On the present disc, Reference Recordings provides eleven examples of the fantasical style from mainly seventeenth-century Italian and German practitioners of the form.

Claudio Merulo, 2020
This Week in Classical Music: April 6, 2020. Merulo and the painters. Claudio Merulo, the famous Italian composer, keyboardist and music publisher of the Renaissance, was born on April 8th of 1533 in Correggio, a town in the Emilia-Romagna (Correggio is also the birthplace of the famous High Renaissance painter who took his name after the town). In Correggio, Merulo studied with Tuttovale Menon, a composer who had previously worked at the court of Ferrara, one of the musical centers of Italy. Merulo probably also studied with Adrian Willaert in Venice. At the age of 23, he was appointed organist at Brescia Cathedral. Just one year later, he was elected the second organist at the Basilica of San Marco in Venice (the basilica had two organs), even though a luminary like Andrea Gabrieli was also in contention.
