AB 1602 is a landmark year in the history of music in Italy, the year in which Giulio Caccini(1551‒1618) published Le nuove musiche in Florence. It is an emblematic work that marks the dawnof a new century and that heralds the new monodic song style, earning itself the status of an‘epoch-making volume’ and the symbol par excellence of the new Baroque music. The same year,and only two hundred and fifty kilometres away, two similar books were printed in Venice,works that shared many features with Caccini’s. Both were issued by Giacomo Vincenti, thesame printer who issued a reprint of Le nuove musiche in 1615. One was a volume of monodies byDomenico Maria Melli, and the other was the Compositioni musicali of Heteroclito Giancarli, abook of solo songs with lute accompaniment. Ignored and forgotten by contemporary scholarship,this present study is an initial exploration of the last of these books, a work that is oneof the earliest sources of Italian lute songs composed with independent accompaniments, andtherefore the first Italian book of this kind ever to appear in print.A completely unknown figure, Heteroclito Giancarli published his songs later in life, possiblyas a retrospective collection. Some of the pieces, in the same way as Caccini’s, may havebeen composed twenty or thirty years earlier and also represent an older practice. Giancarlimay thus be considered a contemporary of both Caccini and the Florentine cantore al liutoCosimo Bottegari (1557‒1620). He was also a student of Ippolito Tromboncino, the renowned mid-century Venetian singer lutenist some of whose songs were preserved by Bottegari, andthus could have been born in the 1540s or 1550s.
