“Io mi son giovinetta" by C. Monteverdi
Performed by Gracias Choir
Conducted by Boris Abalyan
“Io mi son giovinetta” (I Am Still a Young Maiden) Composed by Claudio Monteverdi and published in 1592, Io mi son giovinetta is a five-part madrigal (a secular vocal music composition) that expresses the innocent yet honest feelings of a young woman encountering love for the first time.
In the piece, the young maiden shyly yet confidently declares her youth and purity, revealing her curiosity, excitement, and fascination with the idea of love.
As one of the leading composers of the late Renaissance, Monteverdi masterfully captures the delicate nuances of the text. He uses light and witty rhythms to convey the maiden’s bashful tone, and ascending melodies to reflect her growing emotions—showcasing a beautiful harmony between music and language.
