Antonio
Valente blind,
Neapolitan since a
long time according
to the list of Neapolitan
musicians by Scipione
Cerreto and organist in
S. Angelo a Nilo in
Naples, is known in
modern times for his two
volumes of keyboard
music: Versi
spirituali published
in 1580 and, some years
before, the volume here
in transcription,
Intavolatura de
cimbalo, printed by
Giuseppe Cacchio in
1576. This volume has
many original features:
first keyboard tablature
ever printed in Naples,
itâ??s not written in
musical characters but in
a number-based system
never met, according to
the current studies, in
any other print or
manuscript both in and
outside Italy. The
dedication letter,
written by Fraâ??
Alberto Mazza, praises
Valente as the inventor
of this writing method,
so easy and effective
that everybody, even
uncouth youths that did
not know music and
keyboard, could attain
the result of playing
from it in two
months. The
Intavolatura presents
different genres of
music: a fantasia, six
ricercatas, a Salve
Regina on a cantus
firmus, four vocal
chansons
intabulated for keyboard
with more or less
diminutions,and nine
dances, variations and
dance/variations on
long-living tenors like
Romanesca or
Zefiro. There are
no liturgical
compositions, both
because unsuitable in a
collection for amateurs
and because Valente will
publish a new book of
sacred music in a few
years. The book is a
sort of compendium of the
keyboard genres of the
period, similar to some
older Spanish
publications and to the
later Neapolitan ones by
Trabaci and Majone. Other
contemporary volumes on
the contrary choose to
present a single type of
composition: this is the
case of the
Versetti by
Valente and the
Ricercate by Rocco
Rodio.

The
five short movements for
solo cembalo are brief,
personal prayers that
depict how the subject
manages a range of
feelings and emotions.
The miniatures each
represent a different
emotional state:
reflection, searching,
meditation, agitation,
and resolution. Each is a
small-scale
representation of a
grand, wide-ranging
prayer of
supplication. As a
composer, performer, and
researcher of early
music, writing for
cembalo allows me not
only to express my
special connection to the
instrument and the period
in which it flourished,
but also to present its
contemporary dimensions
as a rich and versatile
instrument. The
piece was composed at the
request of Hagai Yodan,
who performs it with
great skill. Daniel
Akiva is a composer,
performer, and educator
whose performances on
guitar and lute have won
great acclaim. Mr. Akiva
graduated from the Rubin
Academy of Music in
Jerusalem in 1981, where
he studied classical
guitar with Haim Asulin
and composition with Haim
Alexander. In 1987 he
completed his studies at
the Geneva Conservatorium
in Switzerland where he
studied lute with
Jonathon Rubin and
composition with Jean
Ballisa. For many years,
he headed the Music
Department at the WIZO
High School for the Arts
in Haifa, which he
founded in 1986, and
served as the Artistic
Director of the Guitar
Gems Festival from
2006-2019. As part of his
work at WIZO High School,
he has developed a method
for teaching free
improvisation that has
been incorporated into
the music program at the
school. Mr. Akiva has
appeared in concert as a
guitarist and lutist and
given master classes in
Israel, Europe, Russia,
the United States, and
Latin America. Daniel
Akiva’s
compositional output
includes works for solo
instruments, chamber
ensembles, choir, voice
and guitar, piano, and
chamber orchestra. His
works have been recorded
on twelve CDs, the latest
of which, Malchut, was
issued by OR-TAV in
2014. A native of
Haifa whose family has
lived in Israel for over
five hundred years, he
was steeped in the
Sephardic
(Jewish-Spanish)
tradition from his youth.
Much of his compositional
output has been devoted
to a dialogue with the
music of the Sephardic
Jews. Daniel Akiva has
also maintained a
creative dialogue over
many years with the poets
and writers Amnon
Shamash, Rivka Miriam,
and Avner Peretz.
