Roberta Invernizzi, soprano Bizzarrie Armoniche (…) the motet Cari musici, an example of nuns' own philosophy of music, opens the Motetti a 1.2.3.4., published in 1691 by Donna Bianca Maria Meda of the ancient Benedictine monastery of San Martino del Leano in Pavia. Unlike any Lombard motet collection of the later seventeenth century, Meda's print begins with a piece that is an apostrophe to musicians about music; more precisely, a call, at least at first, to refrain from music in favor of divine contemplation: ‘Cari Musici, cum grato silentio voces comprimite suspendite sonos, cantare cessate, et contemplate dilecte Jesus amores; non me turbate, no, no, amante armonici chori, cantare cessate’ In one sense, Cari musici takes up a common poetic conceit of the seventeenth century, that of the ultimate fallibility and unsatisfactoriness of earthly music compared to the music of divine contemplation and celestial harmonies awaiting the saved individual soul. - Robert L.
