Description

Madrigali di Monteverdi -Flute Choir – Monteverdi/Davis – Theodore Presser Co. – WSMA Solo & Ensemble

These three madrigals written by opera composer Monteverdi come from his 4th book of 5-voice madrigals in 1603. Their expressiveness results in large part from the same flexibility of melodic line and mixed modal/tonal harmonies that also characterize Monteverdi’s first excursions into opera.
