INTERPRETATION


This is a very lively madrigal about romantic love. The poet used many terms of endearment for the dog, terms that surely had a double meaning, and actually were directed at the woman the poet loved or at any beautiful woman for whom the poet yearned.


Grechino actually was a real dog, in fact, a very famous dog, for he belonged to the Duchess Margherita d'Este Gonzaga - the poet's aristocratic patron in Mantua, Italy.


Since these madrigals were sung for entertainment of the listener, the tempo can be quick and the word painting exaggerated.
