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. | |||
