Monteverdi Madrigals for Brass

News 15.08.2017 11:12

This is a huge undertaking and will be an ongoing project for some time. I am currently transcribing the whole 8 books of Monteverdi's madrigals for flexible quintet. The parts are described as Part 1 in Bb, Part 2 in Bb, Part 3 in Eb/F, Part 4 in Bb/C(Bass clef), Part 5 in Eb/Bb/C(Bass clef) and are suitable for wind, brass or a combination of both. In most cases, treble clef parts are not provided for flutes, as the ranges of some of the songs are a little too wide for them at the bottom end. However, oboes, clarinets and saxophones should have few issues.


So far completed are Books 1 -5 and, at the time of writing, I am part way through Book 6. I will endeavour to publish the five completed books (individual songs and complete edition) by the end of August and then move on to the 6th book.


Exciting times!
