Alcun non puo saper da chi sia amatoAlma Susanna
Candido e vago fiore
Come la notte ogni fiammella e viva
Convien ch'ovunque sua sempre cortese
Dalle belle contrade d'oriente
Di virtu, di costumi
L'alto signor
Mentre, lumi maggior
Mia benigna fortuna
Non e lasso martire
O morte eterno fin
O sonno, o della queta humida ombrosa
Poi che m'invita Amore
Sebben il duol
Tra piu beati e piu
Un altra volta la Germania strida
Vieni, dolce Imeneo
Volgi 'il tuo corso

La Compagnia del MadrigaleAbout
De Rore was a Fleming who enjoyed great success notably in the Italian courts of Ferrara and Parma - but with a prestige which extended up and across Europe. He composed in many genres but it is the secular madrigal - recorded here - where his skill was most valued, for example in creating extended and expressive melodic lines coupled with innovatory preechoes of the seconda pratica so triumphantly expressed - albeit amidst great criticism - by Claudio Monteverdi.
Glossa recordings of madrigals by Marenzio, Gesualdo and Monteverdi have already demonstrated musical pleasures, such as an uncommon vocal blend and delicacy and a meticulous dynamic control exhibited by the richly-experienced members of La Compagnia del Madrigale. Those delights are also to be experienced with these 19 madrigals by Cipriano de Rore, composed late in his career.
With texts by Petrarch, Ariosto and assorted court poets for these madrigals, essay writer Marco Bizzarini highlights one of the principal characteristic features of de Rore’s mastery when he points to the disc’s title track, ‘Vieni, dolce Imeneo’: the ideal union between poetry and music.
