Harsh Amarilli; brutal Amarilli; Why even your name with its calling to love, but hint of the bitter too, teaches just how sour loves wine can be. Amarilli, Amarilli, like the pale flower of the privet only paler, more perfect; like the deaf adder only more deaf, more adder, more slither-quick! Since youre so insulted by what I say, since even my voice causes you offence Ill speak not another word, but fade away and fading, cease in silence.

[hearts0ngs]

@charlesmarshall65 thanks for that translation...by the way from the context i would guess it is 'death adder' not 'deaf'...the death adder being a type of deadly snake...

Great poem, but I wonder why poets of that time always seem to torment themselves by wasting all their tears and passion on haughty and cruel 'ladies'...or did they get some kind of masochistic kick out of being rejected?

[feedingear]

@hearts0ngs its always reassuring to see little has changed in human nature :).

[Forgefire5]

@hearts0ngs

Being deaf, the deaf adder must use sign language in order to communicate with his fellow snakes but is difficult due to snakes lacking both hands and language. Unable to communicate, deaf adders often feel isolated from other snake & suffer from snake depression the leading cause of self tanglelation.

Don;t quote me, but deaf may be a correct translation considering the time it was written. Snakes lack ears so they can't hear (false) so it could mean deaf to pleas and warning.

I like the madrigal, the paintings and the photos, thanks a lot

[losurthona]

Wonderful performance! Thanks for including the Italian and English in the info -- this music really expresses its text!

[Rock123]

Giovanni Artusi attacked the "crudities" and "license" of the modern style of composing, centering his attacks on madrigals (including Cruda Amarilli, composed around 1600) from the fourth book of madrigals by the genius, Claudio Monteverdi.

[saikuya81]

From whitch year is this? I guess around 1500/1550?

[Jasper909]

1605

[eloosivegem]

Composed in the late 1590's. Published in Venice in 1605 as part of Monteverdi's Fifth book of madrigals.

[ashleylynnjoan]

@saikuya81 Yeah, but they didn't record it until 1571. ;D

[DCATPYEO]

@saikuya81 1600

[StevenMaff]

@DCATPYEO the reversal

[BethDiane]

Nice, but I actually prefer the setting of this text by Luca Marenzio.

[Divina126]

I don't like the photos too... they have nothing to do with Monteverdi's music!!

But this madrigal is really amazing and impressing... I enjoy it)

[talibdjan]

what a nice and pleasing assembly of distinguished youtubers... my pleasure ladies n gentlemen. indeed wonderful music with a harsh cut at the end... hard to find satisfying recordings. strange what ideas and concepts of singing are tenacios and obstanate. irritating, peoples minds and taste. but what wonderful ensembles and consorts one can find too...

[talibdjan]

in deed

[mysticmansion555]

very beautiful madrigal, but the images suck ! (not the paintings)

[helenafranko]

ok, you wrote that 7 months ago...

I agree that Monteverdi wrote some madrigals that could be considered even "better" - I am hesitant in using the word "better", though. When it's about Monteverdi, everything is just simply amazing.

[skellagyook]

Who's the soprano? What a lovely, clear voice.

[rueyyen]

Emma Kirby

[rueyyen]

Emma Kirby is the soprano.

[gfterp]

Monteverde can cleanse the musical mind! Now, on to Cavalli, a comtemporary, to dirty it up agarin!

[ThisDream]

Great but Monteverdi wrote many madrigals just as good or much better than this.... I hardly see why you say its the best he ever wrote...

[safetychoice]

De gustibus non est disputandem

[fafnis]

De gustibus non est disputandum

[safetychoice]

I stand corrected. Are you sure you are not the ghost of my father?

[callimacos]

De gustbus non disputandum EST,the verb at the end :P

[NefastusVII]

De gustibus non est disputandum,

de gustibus non disputandum est,

de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum...

It's all the same...

[eulero75]

@callimacos the verb at the end is not necessary, because in latin often you have the omission of the copula, writing the participle only; the important thing is that the meaning is clear! :)

[eulero75]

@safetychoice Lol...check your latin knowledge! :-D

Some music theorists say that this particular madrigal (specially its very first bars) sets the beginnings of the "seconda prattica", a style with more dissonances and in which melodies will rely more on harmonic progressions than strict counterpoint.

[LutenistDeMari]

Very true sir.

[Gealach74]

beautiful! both music(Monteverdi's is alway nice

) and the slices; all beautiful women!

thanks

[mudws]

Who are the performers? It's nice to identify them and give them credit and publicity.

[nicosupersex]

i guess they are the consort of musike

[lalagonegaga]

I also think they are The Consort of Musike as I can cearly hear the voice of my beloved Emma Kirkby. ;)

[epn10]

Yes...that would definitely be Richard Wistreich, a very cool bass.

[rueyyen]

that would definitely be NOT Richard Wistreich

They are Consort of Musicke; Anthony Rooley, director,the Bass is David Thomas!!

[epn10]

bullshit!!!!!! that's gotta be him...it's his timbre...i'll double check

[epn10]

go to the medieval music database (medieval+.org...youtube is weird about urls), look up Consort of Musicke Discography...the proof lies therein!

[magicminstrel]

David Thomas never sang with the 6-part version of the Consort of Musicke.

[jemdyar17]

I have been trying to find a few madrigals by various composers of Monteverdi's Time, though I am not 100% sure which composers made which pieces . . . I know the names and some of the lyrics to these songs. THe Album contains 2 CDs . . . it's called "Venetian Vespers" and the sound of the choir is so similar to this arrangement. The songs I am looking for are called "Laudate" (I think) another is "O Maria, que rapis Corda Hominum"

[jemdyar17]

if you have any clue about this or any of these songs can you tell me about them or post them? THanks!

[guimaul69]

I know a double-cd bow called venetian from the Gabrieli Consort and Players conducted by Paul McCreesh. Just for you to know, on this cd, there is no madrigals but motets or psalms...

well:

-Laudate Dominum, is from Monteverdi

-O Maria etc... is a composition of Giacomo Finetti (1605-1631) i'll try to post them in a few days if you want...
