Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) ranks not only as a major composer of the Early Baroque, but also as one of the most important and influential figures in music history. His madrigals -- secular songs usually on the theme of love and written for a small number of voices, often unaccompanied -- are now the subject of much study, recording, and performances. Recognized today for their profound effect on the transition from the polyphonic style of the late Renaissance to the declamatory homophonic style of the Baroque, they are among the greatest musical legacies from the past.
