Matona, mia Cara Matona, My Beloved

This beautiful gem from the madrigal repertoire has a secular text and a "don, don, don" refrain. Sing in Italian (pronunciation guide and performance notes included in the publication) or use the well crafted English text. Would be an excellent introduction to madrigal singing or singing in a language other than English. Moderate ranges, repetition make it easier than many madrigals.
