ABSTRACT

Detailed analysis of the music, text, and contexts of Giulio Cesare Monteverdi’s collection of concerted motets, Delli affetti musici (1620). Analysis of four works from the volume: “Veni, cara mi,” “Dies festus,” “Audite, qui astatis,” and “Incipite Virgini.” Draws comparisons with the works of Monteverdi and relates the collection to the Scherzi musicali of 1607.
