NATURAL, SPIRITUAL
Aquilino Coppini, an intellectual in the service of Cardinal Borromeo, was a keen admirer of Monteverdi’s madrigals. Secular though they were. But when proposing them to the ecclesiastic circles of his day, he replaced the original verses with religious poetry. Today, thanks to recent research, we can hear how waves, birds, and streams transform into devotional expressions.
Claudio Monteverdi
Io mi son giovinetta
Claudio Monteverdi
Aquilino Coppini
O Jesu, mea vita (Sì, ch'io vorrei morire)
Longe a te, mi Jesu (Longe da te, cor mio)
Plagas tuas adoro (La piaga, c'ho nel core)
O stellae coruscantes (Sfogava con le stelle)
O gloriose martyr (Che se tu se il cor mio)
Domine, Deus meus (Anima mia, perdona)
Jesu, dum te contemplor (Cor mio, mentre vi miro)
Tu vis a me abire (Voi pur da me partite)
Ardebat igne puro (Volgea l'anima mia)
