Altri con maggior rischio

Philippe de Monte was a prolific composer of the late Renaissance, a master of the madrigal form. Altri con maggior rischio showcases his skill in secular Italian part-music for SATTB voices. The text, a vivid poem, paints a picture of a hunter returning victorious from a dangerous encounter with a wild boar. The music likely reflects the narrative, with moments of tension and release as the hunter overcomes the 'fiero assalto' and returns home 'lieto', adorning his door with the boar's head. This madrigal offers a compelling dramatic and descriptive musical experience for an accomplished choir.
