Poliziano's Orfeo: the lira da braccio & the cetra

Excerpts from our reconstruction of Angelo Poliziano’s Orfeo Le Miror de Musique Jacob Lawrence, tenor Baptiste Romain, lira da braccio Marc Lewon, cetra Angelo Poliziano’s Fabula di Orfeo (c. 1480) is one of the earliest humanist takes on the Orpheus myth — a work that blends spoken poetry and music in a way that reflects the tastes of Renaissance courts. Our reconstruction brings this sound world to life through two emblematic instruments of the period: the lira da braccio, associated with poet-musicians who sang epic and lyric verse, and the cetra, a plucked instrument linked to the rebirth of classical ideals. Together, these instruments frame Orpheus not only as a mythical musician but as a Renaissance figure whose art bridges eloquence and melody.
