The name "Oltremontano" is a reference to the Flemish polyphonists, who dominated and defined the European music world of the 15th and 16th century and were know in Italy as the "oltremontani" i.e. "those from across the mountains". The core of Oltremontano consists of narrow-scaled trumpets, reed instruments and cornetts, which corresponds with the old alta capella formation of the municipal capella. |
