Flexi Quintet – Monteverdi, 3rd Book of Madrigals 1. La Giovinetta Pianta
$3.49
Description
Monteverdi’s third book of madrigals of 1592 is one of the earliest
steps towards the writing of opera as we know it. In this collection of
songs, Monteverdi, for the first time, starts to bring small groups of
songs (2 or 3) to form a ‘Scena” – a collection with similar words or on
a similar theme or by the same poet and keeping them as a little group
within the book of madrigals.
The first song “La giovinetta
pianta” speaks of a young plant growing into the sunlight and being
attached to its roots. This is a typical Renaissance song with loads of
hidden meaning and double entendres.
As with all of Monteverdi’s vocal
music, it translates really well onto instruments. The individual
madrigals are available separately. This flexible arrangement is equally
playable on woodwind ensembles as on brass.
Flexible quintet parts are supplied as follows:
Part 1 in Bb/C (Treble),
Part 2 in Bb/C (Treble),
Part 3 in Eb/F/C (Alto),
Part 4 in Bb/Eb/C (Bass) and
Part 5 in Bb/Eb/C (Bass )
