Ecco Mormorar L’onde happens to be Monteverdi’s most famous madrigal of the sec- ond madrigal books. The texts of “Ecco mormorar l’onde” is a fourteen-line that illustrates the pastoral dawn, a sort of landscape poetry in which writer Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) shined. Keep a look out for the duets between the soprano and alto harmonies that mimic “pretty birds singing softly” and that of the soprano and tenors “heralding the breeze to refresh every burnt heart”. Monteverdi’s use of contrapuntal texture in his choral writing is distinct and is considered a signature move for most if not all his pieces.
