Monteverdi Lamento d'Arianna. Madrigal version from the 6th Book of Madrigals (1614) (Singing Score)

he fame of the “Lamento d'Arianna” from Claudio Monteverdi’s opera “Arianna” of 1608 spread quickly among music lovers.  This led the composer, as early as 1614, to publish a five-part madrigal version in his 6th book of madrigals for domestic music-making, as it were.  In doing so, he drew on the melodic and harmonic substance of the original and illuminated above all the lyrical aspects of the dramatic text.  To this day, this version is able to captivate performers and audiences with its combination of literary depth and emotionally expressive singing.
