This recording project – the culmination of a research work that started out in 2020 – follows the released record of the third book of madrigals (Tactus, tc 531601, 2021) by the same author, which was the result of the first collaboration between conductor Elia Orlando, ensemble Tuscae Voces – that he conducts – and record label Tactus. It is safe to say that the outcomes confirm how the musical landscape in Renaissance Prato deserves way more attention than it has drawn so far, and that Biagio Pesciolini – besides being closely connected to the Florentine court – was an author whose vision went beyond the city walls of Prato. Although praised by peers Ludovico Zacconi and Antonio Brunelli for his mastery of those techniques that belong to Flemish-origin ars musica, he skilfully took on both “orthogonal” writing for double choir and winding compositions for five and six voices, which proves that Biagio Pesciolini was indeed open and receptive to the different tendencies of Italy’s most important musical centres.

Elia Orlando
Approached music through self-taught guitar studies.
A few years later, he graduated from the Rimini Conservatory. During his guitar studies, he developed a passion for composition, which led him to enrol in the three-year BA programme in Choral Music at the Bologna Conservatory, which he completed under the guidance of M. Scattolin. His desire to perfect himself led him to deepen his musical studies. He completed the two-year choral conducting course in Rovigo with M. Peguri and specialised at the school in Arezzo under the direction of M. Donati.
The Euphonios Choral Association, of which he is the artistic director, currently has four choirs that are very active in concerts. In addition to numerous concerts in Italy and abroad, he has also won prizes at national choir competitions with the Euphonios Vocal Ensemble. From 2014 to 2015, he was one of the three conductors of the Coro Giovanile Toscano, with whom he performed at the Expo in Milan. Since 2016, he has been working with the Camerata Strumentale Città di Prato and performs with the "Coro Città di Prato", of which he is the master trainer.
After graduating from the Biennio di Didattica in Modena, he took up a position as a musical instrument teacher in 2016. In 2018, he founded the ensemble Tuscae Voces, with which he recorded the third book of madrigals by Biagio Pesciolini. He has been passionate about modern music since his student days and writes arrangements for his groups, exploring 'vocal pop' writing with Philip Lawson of the King's Singers.
