A program of Monteverdi's gloriously varied madrigals drawn chiefly from books 5, 6, and 7. Among others: "Lagrime d'amante al sepolcro dell'amata", Monteverdi's heartrending tribute to his wife who died in 1607; "Lamento d'Arianna", a wrenching five-voice arrangement of the famous lament from Monteverdi's now lost opera, L'Arianna, of 1608, and the delightful ballo "Tirsi e Clori" from 1616.
