Canzone "O primavera, gioventu de l'anno" - for 5 voices (Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Alto or Tenor, Tenor, Bass); the text is taken from Act III, Scene 1 of Il Pastor Fido (The Faithful Shepherd) of Battista Guarini (1538-1612) -- Giaches de Wert was born in 1536, and died on May 6th, 1596. He was a Franco-Flemish composer active in Italy, and one of the leaders in developing the style of the late Renaissance madrigal. - "I had the idea for creating the Theatre of Voices Edition when my researches into Baltic repertoire suggested to me that far more wonderful music was being composed than existing publishing houses have recognized. It seemed to me there might be room for a new perspective, publishing fine music that I know singers enjoy singing and audiences enjoy hearing. TOVE will therefore present a very personal selection, but one rooted in the direct experience of knowing the composers and performing the music. And for similar reasons, TOVE will also be an outlet for my work in early music and in the strangely neglected field of 19th century English music. In addition, we will publish little books, pamphlets, and other musical miscellania, as time and opportunity affords."--Paul Hillier.
