Giovanni Battista Bovicelli - Io son ferito (Maximilien Brisson, canticum trombonorum)

Giovanni Battista Bovicelli (c.1550–c.1627) Io son ferito after Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525–1594) Regole, passaggi di musica (Venice: Vincenti 1594) canticum trombonorum Maximilien Brisson, trombone Rui Staehelin, theorbo Alexander Paine, organ Performance pitch: A=466 Tuning: ¼-comma meantone _____ Io son ferito, ahi lasso! e chi mi diede accusar pur vorrei, ma non ho prova; e senz' indizio al mal non si da fede: ne getta sangue la mia piaga nuova. Io spasm' e moro; il colpo non si vede. La mia nemica armata si ritrova. Che fia tornar a lei crudel partito, che sol m'abbia a sanar chi m'ha ferito. I am wounded, alas, and she who did it to me I would fain accuse, but I have no proof; yet without evidence no one will put faith in my woe, nor does my fresh wound pour out blood. I suffer and die; the wound is invisible, my foe is found to be armed. How cruel a task will it be to return to her, for only she is able to heal me that has wounded me. _____ Recorded 19 February 2022 Kleiner Saal, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis Basel, Switzerland Sound and video recording: BJ Hernandez Production: Maximilien Brisson
