Listening Journal #6 Monteverdi

I'm back again with another musical analysis, but this time it will be on the Baroque era of music, specifically the opera "L'Orfeo" by Monteverdi. I will only be analyzing for musical elements this time around from "0.45-2:21"

Timbre: Brass instruments, string instruments and percussion (intranaphones, chordophones, membranophones respectively). The harp, lute, and recorder also make an appearance in this work 

Texture: Heterophoic

Tonality: Major


Meter: Duple simple
