Monteverdi’s Chiome d’Oro

Duo score, violin and cello parts.
This vibrant, happy madrigal in C major has delightful interplay between the two instruments. The recording above is of the cello duet version – the violin and cello duet is very similar. We also have a string orchestral version of this fab piece – email us to find out more.

Chiome d’Oro means Golden Head of Hair  and this is one of Monteverdi’s erotic madrigals, with  the words praising the physical attractiveness of women and their effect on men. Enjoy!
