This song was composed by Giulio Caccini, an Italian composer of the late Renaissance/early Baroque eras. He is one of the founders of opera, and this is one of his most famous madrigals.

The ocarina is made by Kenji Ogawa of Japan, and you can find the accompaniment for this song on his CD, Toy Box 1 for Ocarina.

Written by José María Cano for Mecano, this song has been covered many times by many artists. As far as I know, this is the first ocarina cover…

The ocarina is made by Kenji Ogawa of Japan, and this song is one of many from his album, Toy Box 1 for Ocarina.

Yup, I’m a dork…

This is one of my favorite songs – amazingly, it can also be played on a four hole pendant. I think it sounds very soothing played in a lower key,
