Catalogue Note
Les éditions des grands compositeurs de la première moitié du XVIe siècle sont extrêmement rares en vente publique. Un seul exemplaire de cette première édition d'Arcadelt existe à la bibliothèque de Vérone ; quelques parties de chants sont disséminés dans des bibliothèques à Bologne, Sienne et Boston. Jacques Arcadelt était vraisemblablement le plus important des compositeurs de madrigaux de la première génération, et sa renommée repose principalement sur ses madrigaux à quatre voix. Cette édition contient les premières éditions de dix-sept madrigaux par Arcadelt, ainsi que des pièces de Verdelot, Barré, "Pieresson", Naich et d'autres.
Rare: editions of major composers from the first half of the sixteenth century are of the greatest rarity at auction. Of this first edition of Arcadelt, just one set survives in a library in Verona, otherwise only a handful of voice parts are scattered in libraries in Bologna, Siena and Boston. Jacques Arcadelt was arguably the most important of the first generation of composers of the Italian madrigal, and his fame rests principally with his four-voice madrigals. This edition contains first editions of seventeen madrigals by Arcadelt, together with pieces by Verdelot, Barré, "Pieresson", Naich and others.
