Title and Description	Score	Midi	Translation

Care mie selve, addio (SSATB+b.c.) A native of Padua, Freddi (1570-1634) was long associated with the musical establishment of the Basilica of St. Anthony in that city. His setting of Amarilli’s poignant farewell to her beloved Arcadian woods, uttered at a moment in Il Pastor Fido (IV/v) when she believes she is about to be unjustly put to death, is notable for its tortured cromaticism at the words “disperata e dolente.” Freddi’s Secondo libro de' madrigali a cinque voci (1614), in which this piece and the two that follow appeared, includes both a cappella and continuo madrigals. See also the setting of the same text by Casentini.		Download
O misera Dorinda (SSATB+b.c.) NEW A setting of part of an exchange between Dorinda and Silvio (Il Pastor Fido, II/ii), in which Silvio makes it painfully plain that he prefers the company of his hunting-dog to hers. See also the settings by Boschetti, da Gagliano, Gastoldi and Ghizzolo.		Download
O Mirtillo Mirtillo (SSATB+b.c.) NEW The opening lines of Amarilli's soliloquy in Il Pastor Fido (III/iv), in which she laments the emotional harm she is compelled to inflict on Mirtillo. See also the settings by Boschetti, Croce and Monteverdi.		Download
