SKU: A0.767357

Composed by Claudio Monteverdi. Arranged by Mike Lyons. Baroque,Renaissance. Score and parts. 25 pages. Lyons Music Services #3543483. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767357).

Continuing my edition of Monteverdi's complete madrigal books, here is no 19. This is a love poem describing the virtues of a young lady. The language is flowery and obtuse, but none-the-less beautiful. The first line translates as "Gentle midst the hidden thorns".

It is obvious that Monteverdi is enlarging his scope with this trio for all male voices (2 tenors and a bass) as the soloists, with a more complex accompaniment that many of the previous songs.

The accompaniment is complex enough to deserve it's own ensemble, so I have arranged it à7 as follows:

1 - Part 1 in F/Eb (Tenor 1) - Horn 2 - Part 2 in F/Eb (Tenor 2) - Horn 3 - Part 3 in C/Bb (Bass) - Euph/Trom/Barit 4 - Part 4 in Bb - Trumpet/Cornet 5 - Part 5 in Bb - Trumpet/Cornet 6 - Part 6 in C/Bb - Trom/Euph/Barit 7 - Part 7 in C/Eb - Tuba/Eb Bass
