Carlo Gesualdo (1566 - 1613), Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza, was an Italian composer, lutenist, nobleman, and notorious murderer of the late Renaissance. He is famous for his intensely expressive madrigals, which use a chromatic language not heard again until the 19th century. He is also famous for committing what are possibly the most famous murders in musical history.
This madrigal first appeared in Gesualo's "Libro Secondo" first published in 1594. Text translation included.
