Gesualdo Magrigals Libro quinto und Libro sesto (Book five and Book six)

[Stanfordian]

On Thursday evening I am setting off to attend a concert as part of the Musikfest 2011 in Berlin. The early music group Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam is performing a programme of five-part Magrigals featuring Gesualdo's Magrigals Libro quinto und Libro sesto (Book five and Book six).

There are also magrigals from his contemporaries Ruggiero Giovannelli, Ascanio Maione, Agresta Agostino, GiuseppePalazzotto Tues Tagliavia, Francesco Genuino, Crescentio Salzilli, Antonio de Diego and Metrio Personè.

The probability is that translation will not be available.

If any one can point me in the right direction to obtaining the Gesualdo lyrics of Book five and Book six with English translations. It is too late to buy a CD of the Magrigals.

Thanks Patrick,

That's great help. I did look on that site but missed book five.

I'm still hopeful that someone else can turn up Book 6.
