About this release
Shani Diluka - Renaissance Royal Abbey of Fontevraud is a concert film released on May 6, 2025, documenting a musical program conceived and performed by pianist Shani Diluka at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. The program takes the Renaissance period as its framework, tracing how that era shaped Western musical thought through four thematic sections. The first examines the emergence and dissemination of early scores facilitated by Gutenberg's printing press, featuring works by composers including Eccles, Dowland, and Byrd. The second section turns to the early humanists and the transition from music of the spheres to music of the humanities, drawing on Palestrina, Monteverdi, and Frescobaldi. The third explores the Renaissance's engagement with the Golden Ratio and the relationship between proportion and beauty through works by Purcell and Handel. The fourth and final section addresses the Renaissance's lasting legacy — polyphony, harmony, and the deepening relationship between text and music — with works by Scarlatti and Bach. The program centers on two primary geographic and intellectual focal points: humanist Italy and Elizabethan England.
