These are arrangements of tangos originally composed for piano and string orchestra, and arranged for string quartet because they have wide audience appeal, and may be useful both as concert music and music played at social events.

Enjoy this arrangement of five madrigals from Maddalena Casulana's Secondo Libro de Madrigali (Second Book of Madrigals)! This book is perfect for wedding gigs, informal string quartet readings, and even Christmas celebrations-many of the pieces deal with love and joy. A copy of the original lyrics is included, as well as suggested dynamic markings.

Casulana (1544-1590) was the first female composer to have her music published and printed in Western classical music history. Her music was highly regarded in her time, and her contrapuntal cleverness is evident to the modern ear as well.

This book includes the following madrigals: Ridon hor per le piaggie, Amor per qual cagion, Io d'odorate fronde, Ahi possanza d'amor, O notte o cielo o mare.
