After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer/songwriter territory on Hunky Dory. Not only did the album boast more folky songs ("Song for Bob Dylan," "The Bewlay Brothers"), but he again flirted with Anthony Newley-esque dancehall music ("Kooks," "Fill Your Heart"), seemingly leaving heavy metal behind.

Marco Marazzoli was a composer, harpist and singer and as such moved in the highest circles of the clergy, which can certainly be explained not only by his own priestly status, but above all by the unusual quality of his creations. Born in Parma around 1602 and died in Rome in 1662, he was successful both in the large forms and in the field of chamber music cantatas. Towards the end of his life, he created a series of experimental vocal works for six voices and a small instrumental ensemble, which even satisfied the demands of the Vicar of Christ on earth: after all, the composer and his poets celebrated the Pope in these miniature dramas as a man of peace, through whose mediation the Franco-Spanish War had come to an end in 1659. This recognition can still be heard today.
