Modern performing edition by David Nutter. Tears of a Lover in the Tomb of the Beloved for five part mixed chorus with optional basso continuo figures prominently in Monteverdi's Sixth Book of Madrigals (1614). Telling of a shepherd whose nymph has died, the work was ordered by the Duke of Mantua probably in the memory of Caterina Martinelli, a nightingale ward of court who died at the age of 19. Its six movements follow the Sestina form introduced already in the 12th century of six stanzas of six lines each with a closing envoy. Published in the Fazer Editions of Early Music series - a choral series under the editorial supervision of Paul Hillier, founder and artistic director of the renowned Hilliard Ensemble. Although each title in this series is the result of careful scholarly research and is a reliable source for musicologists, the series' main purpose is to make practical performing editions available to choirs and other vocal ensembles. The original C clefs have been replaced by G and F clefs and the note values adapted to conform to modern practice. All the works in the series are intended for mixed voices. Each title includes a lengthy introduction in English and notes on the editorial principles. Where necessary, an English translation of the text and a guide to pronunciation are provided.

The hymn tune SHADES MOUNTAIN (K. Lee Scott, 1987) is paired with a 1976 Erik Routley text in this concertato for choir, congregation, brass quintet, organ, and optional timpani and percussion. Six stanzas of the fifteen-measure melody are provided here. Two stanzas are notated in SATB layout. Stanza 2 encourages the congregation to sing in four parts as in a hymnal layout (reproducible congregational pages are provided). Stanza 4 is for the choir alone, a cappella, in four parts. One stanza (1) asks the women of the congregation to sing with the women of the choir, and this concept is repeated with the men (stanza 3). Stanza 5 is unison, stanza 6 is unison with descant. An introduction and interlude before the final stanza round out the piece. A majestic piece, full of wonderful variety and color.
