Commentary

Intabulation of a four-voice madrigal by Verdelot with a text by Machiavelli. The New Grove (Oxford Music Online) article on Verdelot by H. Colin Slim, revised by Stefano La Via (accessed 6/08/2019) indicates the first print of this work is in Del primo libro de Madrigali di Verdelotto (Venice: Zovan Antonio [Nicolini] et i fratelli da Sabio. Ad instantia de li Scotti et per Andrea Anticho, 1533. but RISM only lists several reprints from the 1540s.
