Added by magataganm, 10 Jun 2020 Giovanni Battista della Gostena (c. 1558 - 1593) was an Italian composer and lutenist. Uncle and teacher of Simone Molinaro , ,who published many of his works between 1500 and 1612, including madrigals, motets and magnificats. Gostena studied with Philippe de Monte in Vienna, then returned to his birthplace of Genoa and was appointed maestro di cappella at the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. His publications included three books of madrigals and two of canzonette, written in the style of his teacher. His "Tu, che del mio dolor selvaggia fera", written for Madrigal choir, follows the text (translated to English by Andrea Friggi): Thou, wild beast with a beautiful face that enjoy my woes by day and by night, what would you do if I die? It's heavy for me not to end my life but to end my sorrows. Now that I die, don't you know that also my dolour, from which you feed yourself, shall end?. Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/de:Giovanni_Battista_Dall a_Gostena). Although originally composed for Madrigal choir (SATTB), I created this interpretation of "Tu, che del mio dolor selvaggia fera" (Thou, wild beast) for Wind Quintet (Flute, Oboe, English Horn, French Horn & Bassoon). |
