Compositional Technique

Another song asks for a composition 'without black notes' and without dissonances, designed to invite sleep and finish sweetly.

Compositional Technique

One song requests a 'whimsical canzonet' that few can sing but can be danced to, without concern for mode or rules.

Historical Context

The style of music that invites sleep and avoids dissonances is compared to the music Orpheus used to appease Proserpina and the music that calmed Saul's evil spirit.
