  • (L5M - 01) Io che del ciel - Virtł
    Forces: soprano & continuo
    In four sections, all based on the same continuo line this work forms a kind of prologue to the Quinte Musiche due to its expositional style, high-flown language and the fact that is being sung by Virtue. Very florid writing as you can hear in the MIDI preview, it is also very beautiful with a rather unexpected ending. Range: d' - a''

    Forces: soprano & continuo
    Extremely virtuosic, this solo song/madrigal from Le Quinte Musiche (1623) has some incredibly ornate passage work throughout. As you may have guessed from the incipit, the work is about Diana - Goddess of the Hunt...
