Originally written ca. 1611 by Carl Gesualdo, Moro, lasso, al mio duolo comes from Gesualdo’s Madrigals for Five Voices, Book VI, in which this piece serves as a juxtaposition of both love and hate, resulting in a grieving state of longing for death. This unique instrumentation offers opportunities for doubling of high parts and added instrumental expression.
