Primo secondo et terzo libro del capriccio - de Berchem, Jacquet

♪

"A collection of ninety-three madrigals, each setting a stanza from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem ''Orlando Furioso''. Two works, items 67 and 68, set stanzas that do not appear in any of the original published editions of the poem. This volume is divided into three 'books', each with thirty-one stanzas. Each stanza is headed by a description that relates its place in the story of the poem. Publisher Antonio Gardano dedicated this book to the Duke of Ferrara, about and for whose family the original poem was written."
