Enjoy this masterpiece.


Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643)

Voglio di vita uscir, voglio che cadano
Quest'ossa in polve e queste membra in cenere,
E che i singulti miei tra l'ombre vadano.
Già che quel piè ch'ingemma l'herbe tenere
Sempre fugge da me, ne lo tratengono
I laci, hoimè, del bel fanciul di Venere.
Vo che gl'abissi il mio cordoglio vedano,
E l'aspro mio martir le furie piangano,
E che i dannati al mio tormento cedano.

A Dio crudel, gl'orgogli tuoi rimangono
A incrudelir con gl'altri. A te rinunzio,
Ne vo più che mie speme in te si frangono.

S'apre la tomba, il mio morir t'annuntio.
Una lacrima spargi, et alfin donami
Di tua tarda pietade un solo nuntio,
E s'amando t'offesi, homai perdonami

  • I just looked at the translation of this song and felt tears forming in my eyes.

  • btdubs:

    sheet music wanted! does anyone happen to have it????

  • great!

  • This is really nothing compared to the subtleness of Benedetto Ferrari's version as performed by Pustilnik & Cotoyas, and sung by Domingues ("Odi Euterpe" at Glossa).

  • funny **

  • Si.. È  Alessandro Carmignani :) Grande come sempre..

  • @RubsNL Nope: it can be anything from a continuo song to a secular concerto for multiple voices and instruments, often in several antiphonal groups.

  • isnt a madrigal 4 or 6 voiced polyfone?
