The Fifth book of madrigals starts to see much more development towards operatic style writing, with more songs being strung together to form 'scenas' and with the addition of accompaniments on instruments.

Some of these songs can be written by incorporating the accompaniment into the parts for those instruments which are resting, some will require more than a quintet. Certainly as we get into the next three books, reduction to a quintet will become increasingly more difficult, if not impossible.

This file contains the complete 5th book, including the final song which is for 9 parts.

Because the mp3 is so large and each individual song has its own, please see each song's page if you would like to hear it.

Probably the best known song is the first one "Cruda Amaryllis". There are two scenas in this book. The first comprises nos 4 - 8 and the second nos 9-11

Cruda Amarilli is a very evocative song, describing the cruelty sometimes inflicted upon each other by lovers. "Cruel Amarillis" is the translation of the first line and the fp in each part's entry emphasises that cruelty, along with the increased use of dissonance.

Ecco piegando describes a lover on bended knee to his beloved, presumably to ask her to marry him - or perhaps marrying isn't really on his mind!

The penultimate song again presents difficulties in arranging for quintet, however the sixth voice mostly alternates with the others and so with a bit of judicious adaptation, a six-voice song becomes a quintet.

E cosi a poco a poco a sei voci - Our young man has obviously been spurned (yet again) "And so little by little like a butterfly simpleton I'll return to the fire in those false eyes"

The Fifth book of madrigals starts to see much more development towards operatic style writing, with more songs being strung together to form scenas and with the addition of accompaniment on instruments. Some of these songs can be written by incorporating the accompaniment into the parts for those instruments which are resting, some will require more than a quintet. Certainly as we get into the next three books, reduction to a quintet will become increasingly more difficult, if not impossible.

The final song from book 5 shows quite an advance on the previously (relatively) simple writing. Here we have a full SATB ensemble plus a quite detailed continuo. Questi vaghi (These wandering little birds) also has a more complex structure being, by itself, a scena split into sections by ritornelli which he calls Sinfonias. At this stage, they are by no means substantial enough to be considered preludes or interludes, but merely dances between the sections of the song.

Because of this added complexity, I have had to arrange the piece for a 9-part brass choir. There is some overlap and crossover between the continuo and choral parts to accommodate the different groupings needed for each section. The ritornello sections need to be played more lightly and in a skipping style to add contrast between the 'vocal sections'.

This scena in 5 parts marks the first collection in this book. It is plain that the five form a little group within the main body.

This little group of three numbers forms a separate scena within the body of the work, intended to be performed together and clearly marked as such.
