Commedia Harmonica by Orazio Vecchi sung by the BBC Midland Singers Conductor, John Lowe
The English version by Edward Dent
Introduced by Alvar Lidell
L'Amfiparnaso is a set of fourteen madrigals, grave and gay, depicting various episodes, sentimental or ribald, in the lives of some of the stock pantomime characters of the Commedia dell' arte. The spectacle of which I speak, wrote Vecchi in 1597 in a prologue to the work, ' is seen through the mind, into which it enters through the ears, not through the eyes.'

It is a warm summer morning in a Lancashire town on the feast of Corpus Christi 1921. The coal strike is on and six boys set out on a journey to the slag heap to pick coals for the empty grates in their homes and to earn a bit of cash.
