Monteverdi - The Fourth Book of Madrigals 1603

In this book, Monteverdi continues to develop the techniques and writing practices that would eventually form the first opera and his "Stile Nuovo". The polyphony becomes more complex and more tonal and the interdependence of the parts more striking. He is experimenting with more dissonance but also moves towards more tonal writing. Although a far cry from the "I IV V and minor" of the modern pop song, he is nonetheless helping to push forward a more diatonic type of harmony with a more dramatic tonal and harmonic structure that goes much more towards true word painting than his previous books.

 All 20 madrigals are here:
