Description
Carlo Gesualdo's choral works were unique for the time around 1600, and it takes only a few measures to identify their distinct style. No other composer advanced the interpretation of the text in such a varied manner as Gesualdo, and none wrote harmonies that are so daring and of such incomparable freedom in all of music history. Beyond his musical contributions, Gesualdo's life itself reads like an adventure novel – another singular feature among composers of that era.
- Baci soavi e cari
- Bella Angioletta, da le vaghe piume
- Come esser può ch'io viva
- Felice primavera
- Gelo ha madonna il seno
- Madonna, io ben vorrei
- Mentre madonna il lasso fianco posa
- Mentre mia stella, miri
- Non mirar, non mirare
- O dolce mio martire
- Quanto ha di dolce amore
- Questi leggiadri odorosetti fiori
- Se da sí nobil mano
- Sí gioioso mi fanno i dolor miei
- Son sí belle le rose
- Tirsi morir volea
