For the song of Night four trombones were used to produce a grave and melancholy support.

The music for this entertainment was composed by Francesco Corteccia, Constanzo Festa, Mattio Rampollini, Petrus Masaconus and Baccio Moschini.

All these musicians were composers of madrigals, and Corteccia was at the time Cosimo's chapel master.

In this spectacle was heard the solo madrigal for Sileno already mentioned.

Here is the opening of this piece; the upper voice was sung and the other voice parts were played as an accompaniment.
[Musical Notation] In 1554 Beccari of Ferrara (1510-1590) produced his "Il Sagrifizio," a genuine pastoral drama, in which the actors were Arcadian shepherds with Roman manners.
