Claudio Monteverdi published "Ch'io Ami La Mia Vita" ("I Love My Life") in 1587, as a 5 part madrigal. Toot Suite Brass presents a transcription for brass quintet that is as faithful as possible to the published vocal score of this ethereal Renaissance period madrigal. This madrigal fits into a concert as an excellent contrast to later styles of music. While the piece is not technically challenging, your ensemble will enjoy the musical challenges presented by this piece. Performance time is approximately 2:15.
