Il vero libro de madrigali a tre voci - Festa, Costanzo

♪

"A collection of three-voice madrigals by Costanzo Festa, Giacomo Fogliano, and other composers. It was published in response to Il primo libro de madrigali a tre voci (Costanzo Festa) (1541), which only had one work by its titular composer (Afflitti spirti miei (Costanzo Festa) is also included here). This volume was reprinted in 1547, 1551, and 1559 by Girolamo Scotto, in 1556 and 1564 by Gardano, and in 1568 by Claudio Merulo. Copies of the first edition, from 1543, might be lost. The second edition of 1547 added the works by Fogliano and others. Two of those were dropped for the third edition of 1551."
