SKU: MM.HARS106

Composed by Don Carlo Gesualdo. Recorder Quintets. Recorder Ensembles - Series RS. Score and Parts. Published by Hawthorns Music (MM.HARS106).

This is a five-part madrigal, first published in 1611. Carlo Gesualdo (1566 - 1613), Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza, was an Italian composer, lutenist, nobleman, and notorious murderer of the late Renaissance. He is famous for his intensely expressive madrigals, which use a chromatic language not heard again until the 19th century; and he is also famous for committing what are possibly the most famous murders in musical history.
