| Abstract | This is the first published collection of Claudio Monteverdi's madrigal and song texts in parallel Italian and English versions. This unique anthology ranges across four centuries of verse for music and more than thirty poets, old and new, famous and obscure, are represented here, many of them for the first time. For enthusiasts and scholars of the music and its period all over the world, finding out what the poems Monteverdi set to music really mean will be of outstanding interest and importance. The keys the translator uses come from a lifetime's work devoted to Monteverdi and his contemporaries whose music he has explored as conductor of the Accademia Monteverdiana in concerts, broadcasts and recordings. |
