Description:
Musica Divina is the title of this album. One would expect sacred music, but there is nothing sacred in these madrigals. They all are about love; not just love, but unfortunate, unattainable, unhappy, deceived or disrupted love.If one wanted to translate the title Celestial Music could do. Because celestial they are, all of the 58 madrigals by 19 illustrious composers, as is mentioned in the original title.
The collector of this album Pietro Phalesio The Younger (Pierre Phalèse - or Vander Phaliesen) did a wonderful job in 1588 by assembling this collection of madrigals by more or less well-known composers. Many of the authors are famous, such as Di Lasso, De Monte, De Rore, Nanino, Gabrieli, Striggio and Marenzio. But the others are also worth singing and listening to.
All of the madrigals are written according to the prima prattica, the strict rules of madrigalism near the end of the 16th century.
