About "Banchieri: Festino nella sera del Giovedì Grasso avanti Cena, Op. 18: XII. Contrappunto bestiale alla Mente" by The King's Singers
Banchieri's 'bestial counterpoint' is a comic masterpiece, a barnyard of imitations—clucks, barks, and moos—woven into learned polyphony. The King's Singers embrace the absurdity with straight-faced virtuosity, each animal call a precise musical joke. It's high art disguised as low comedy, and utterly irresistible.
