Il primo libro delle canzonette villanelle - Wert, Giaches de

♪

"Dedicated to "la serenissima Signora la Signora Duchessa di Mantova et di Monferrato Leonora Medici Gonzaga mia Signora et padrona colendissima". De Wert in the foreword says that in the "universal jubilance" about the births of her two sons Francesco and Ferdinando in 1586 and 1587 he comes forth with "queste mei note fuori de l‘usato mio stile" (these my notes different from my usual style). Nos. 20 – 24 of the Canto are contained in the Quinto partbook (after no. 2) in the source."
