You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.At long last I have nearly finished the 7th book. This book has posed some issues as it is such complex music it is almost impossible to cut it down to 5 parts while maintaining its integrity. As a result, some songs will be in 6 or more parts.
Augellin translates as "Little Bird". A young man pines for the affections of his beloved and sends a little bird to tell her that he is sad.
This is a trio for two tenors and a bass - unlikely voices to be singing of birds. maybe?
The seventh book is quite a change from the earlier ones. Monteverdi seems to be concentrating on developing solos and duets, trios and small accompanied ensembles. The accompaniments are often written out with more than just long note chords. The intricate instrumental parts are more than just filling in the harmony (hence the difficulty in paring them down.)
Once again, these songs are exquisitely crafted and travel well onto brass.
