What do people perceive when music deviates from a normality with which we are no longer familiar? How do they relate for example to the microtonal pieces by Nicola Vicentino who divided the octave into 31 notes on the basis of Ancient Greek music? In “La strana armonia d’amore”, madrigals by Vicentino, Carlo Gesualdo, Sigismondo d’India and Michelangelo Rossi are interspersed by musical sequences by the Italian composer Francesca Verunelli who adheres to the model of the Renaissance musician in her work „VicentinoOo“.
