Rognoni Taeggio, Francesco

Title and Description	Score	Midi	Translation

Se la doglia e 'l martire (SSATB) NEW An approximate contemporary of Monteverdi, Rognoni Taeggio came from a prominent musical family and was a virtuoso on several instruments. He was also the author of a well-known treatise on ornamentation, Selva de’ varii passaggi (1620). His florid setting of Marino’s text, for five voices plus optional continuo, seems to fit well with the poet’s extravagant literary style.		Download
Qual sì ferigno ed agghiacciato core (SSATB) NEW Another florid madrigal by Rognoni, this one on a histrionic text of questionable literary merit. Like "Se la doglia," the piece is furnished with an optional "basso per sonare" (a version that includes the continuo part is also available).		Download
Deh Tirsi, anima mia, perdona (prima parte of 2) (SSATB+bc) NEW Rognoni's version of Amarilli's poignant Pastor Fido lament, altered to address a "generic" shepherd Tirsi rather than her beloved Mirtillo. Here the continuo part is obligatory, not optional. See also Monteverdi's "Anima mia, perdona."		Download
Che se tu se'l cor mio (seconda parte) (SSATB+bc)		Download
