Publisher's Synopsis
The prematurely departed but extraordinarily fertile composer Ivo de Vento belonged to the circle of musicians around Orlando di Lasso at the Bavarian court. His secular songs were very popular and widely disseminated - small wonder considering the earthiness of lyrics such as "Wann er zu nachts haimkommen thut" (When he comes home at night), "Der wein der schmeckt mir also wol" (The wine tastes fabulous) and "Die weiber seind offt fromm und stil" (Women are often pious and still). The present volume is part of a four-volume "de Vento Complete Edition" which is integrated into the "Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Bayern" as volumes 12 to 15.
