These translations by Charles Marshall of texts from Monteverdi's [[Il quarto libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Claudio Monteverdi)|Il Quarto Libro dei Madrigali]] are a collection of those texts for which a score is not currently available at CPDL. When scores becomes available, the corresponding translation should be imported into Wiki pages, either attached to a particular work or as a separate translation page. You can view the list of "text pages" (which contain commonly set texts) [[:Category:Text pages|here]]. There is a help page for adding texts and translations [[Help:How can I add a text or translation?|here]]. If you wish to add it to an existing score page, then add the translation near the end of the page, between the "Original text" and the final Categories. After the texts and translations have been added, delete them from this page. Here is a template:

The translations by Charles Marshall (formerly [[User:CharlesMarshall65]]) of madrigals from Monteverdi's [[Il quarto libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Claudio Monteverdi)|Il Quarto Libro dei Madrigali]] do not use a literal, word-for-word account of the texts because of the impossibility of retaining the original music of the poetry in a translation from late sixteenth and early seventeenth century Italian to modern English. Instead, they provide poetic translations that faithfully relate the sense of the originals, but re-cast that sense so that, in keeping with Monteverdi's intentions with the ''Seconda Prattica'', the words of his madrigals live for an English-speaking audience.

The translations by Charles Marshall (formerly User:CharlesMarshall65) of madrigals from Monteverdi's Il Quarto Libro dei Madrigali do not use a literal, word-for-word account of the texts because of the impossibility of retaining the original music of the poetry in a translation from late sixteenth and early seventeenth century Italian to modern English. Instead, they provide poetic translations that faithfully relate the sense of the originals, but re-cast that sense so that, in keeping with Monteverdi's intentions with the Seconda Prattica, the words of his madrigals live for an English-speaking audience.
