Recent Researches in the Music of the RenaissanceHubert WaelrantIl primo libro de madrigali e canzoni francezi for Five Voices Edited by Gerald R. Hoekstra
Waelrant's volume of nine madrigals and 11 chansons was one of the earliest publications in Antwerp to include Italian madrigals. With their rich five-part texture, the madrigals resemble in style the early madrigals of Lasso. The chansons, which range from the light-hearted to the serious, are Waelrants's only five-part French pieces.
Chius'er' il sol d'un tenebroso velo/Quand'apparir; Si je maintiens ma vie seulement; Ahi dispietat' amor come consenti/Ma scorga mi destin; Souvent au joly moys de May; Ferma speranz' e fe pur'e sincera/Geloza spero; Or suis je bien au pire; Un jour passé bien escoutoye; Volo con l'ali di pensier' al cielo/Per ch'a' i costumi; De tout mon coeur t'exalteray; De tout mon coeur j'ayme la Marguerite; Soyons playsantz encore demiheure |
