about
Salomone (or Salamone) de’ Rossi is the best known Jewish composer of the Italian Renaissance, and a court musician of the Gonzaga rulers of Mantua. Rossi was also active in Venice, where he published his collections of music and where he interacted with the famed Rabbi Leone Modena and maybe with Sara Copio Sullam, the protagonists of the cultural life of the Ghetto. He died around 1630 after the sack of Mantua by the Austrian army, or in the subsequent plague which ravaged the area. His legacy lived on in the Accademia degli Impediti (or Imperiti) in the Venetian Ghetto, where many Mantuan Jews fled after the Austrian invasion. This song was written for three specific women, famous singers at the court of Ferrara in Italy, who were known collectively as ‘the three ladies.’

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey

One of the best new albums of Yiddish and Klezmer music on Bandcamp in my opinion. The collaboration of two sensitive artists of different generations who know a lot about Yiddish and American music.
