While in Venice, Monteverdi finished his largest work, the eighth book of madrigals. It was written over a thirty-year period and seems to be connected with his revolutionary composition style “seconda pratica”. These Madrigals of War and Love belong to masterpieces of early Baroque and their selection performed by vocalists and instrumentalists of the Cantar Lontano ensemble will be completed by the unique scenic madrigal Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda.
Program:
D'amore e di guerra / Love and war
Biagio Marini: Passacalio a 4 / Sonate da Chiesa e da Camera
Claudio Monteverdi: Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
Giovanni Felice Sances: Usurpator tiranno
Claudio Monteverdi:
Madrigali guerrieri et amorosi
Non havea Febo ancora
Il lamento della ninfa
Si’ tra sdegnosi pianti
La lettera amorosa
Ed è pur dunque vero
Bel pastor dal cui bel guardo
