Madrigals, Books IV & V

Thirty-nine secular madrigals representing "the peak of the music that Monteverdi produced in the first half of his life" (Grove's Dictionary) are essential to the repertoire of serious vocal students. Amateurs and professionals alike will enjoy the new English translations printed alongside the most reliable Italian text. Preface and translations by Stanley Appelbaum.

Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (1567-1643) was an Italian composer and singer whose work marked the transition between Renaissance and Baroque music. He developed two individual styles of composition: the Renaissance polyphonic tradition and the new basso continuo technique of the Baroque.
