Round 11: Tossup 4

The bookseller and magician Girolamo Scotto mainly published collections of works in this genre by composers like the extremely prolific Philippe de Monte and this genre’s “father,” Philippe Verdelot (“vair-duh-LO”). A piece in this genre opens with the whole note chords C-sharp major, (10[1])A minor, B major, G major with chromatically descending outer voices. Nicholas Yonge’s (“young’s”) Musica Transalpina (10[1])collects Italian pieces in this genre descended from the frottola that inspired English examples like “The Silver Swan” by (10[1])Orlando Gibbons. “Moro, lasso, al mio duolo” is among the highly chromatic works in this genre by a composer known for murdering his wife in flagrante delicto, Carlo Gesualdo (“jezz-WALL-doh”). For 10 points, name this secular genre of vocal music often contrasted (10[1])with the motet. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[2])
