In addition to a number of madrigals and motets, he left us one of the richest and most typical collections of 'Canzoni Villanesche' (1545). These 'Canzoni Villanesche' (or 'Napolitane') were songs on popular themes, originally written for three voices in the Neapolitan dialect. The texts are characterized by their burlesque or erotic inspiration, usually containing metaphors, popular proverbs, malicious or saucy puns, distorted words and various types of comical or meaning onomatopoeia. The programme is enriched by a selection of varied instrumental pieces, featuring not only instruments that were fashionable during the Renaissance (recorders, post horns, reed instruments, violas, lutes, guitars, percussions and bagpipes), but also typical Neapolitan instruments as colascioni, tammorri, tromba degli zingari...
