RE: GG: Majesty in Mantua
Dear Marco and K. Berry,
Thank you for your guesses for the film "Majesty in Mantua".
K. Berry, thank you for following all the series
programs. I should have checked the list.
Marco, I enjoyed your explanation on Mantua.
Having received your mails, I received an e-mail
directly from someone else who know the film.
According to the person, the film seems to be about
Monteverdi, who once made his career in Mantua
(1590-1612). The film, I hear, was directed by
Robins-Landon, the famous musicologist of
old music.
I remember GG mentions Monteverdi in his
Byrd/Gibbons linernotes. He thought higly of
the composer who was one of the composers
who introduced tonality.
Again, thank you very much.
Regards,
Junichi
