The Gaudia Music and Arts Collection of Italian Madrigals
John M. Kernochan, Founding DirectorThis ground-breaking collection of Italian madrigals was compiled over a period of 12 years by scholars specializing in Renaissance music. Each of the anthologies in the series is beautifully engraved and bound in a 7 x 10 inch format suitable for performance or study. The anthologies include prefatory materials covering the composer, the period, the music, performance practice, and appendices that include notes on the transcriptions, sources, and translations. For the first time, individual numbers of the collections are available (less the musicological material) as octavos. Listed below are the collections, and following, the individual numbers by voicing. While most are a cappella, some include either optional or required instrumental accompaniment as marked. |
