Composer of the Week

Claudio Monteverdi (1567 - 1643)

Part Three

3/5. After twenty years in Mantua, Monteverdi suddenly found himself without a job when his employer, Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, died. But it wasnt long before his luck changed when he was engaged as Director of Music at St Marks Basilica in Venice - the most prestigious job Italy had to offer.

In spite of his summary dismissal from Mantua, Monteverdi continued writing music for the court there, including a pastoral ballet about a pair of Arcadian lovers. Donald Macleod introduces this and other works contained in Monteverdis seventh and eighth book of madrigals, plus his first secular piece written for performance in Venice.
