Programme Notes
S
The programme portrays Salomone Rossi’s manyfaceted talents as a court composer in the service of
the Gonzaga family and as a unique innovator of
devotional Hebrew music.
Although overshadowed by the works of his colleague
and collaborator Claudio Monteverdi, Rossi’s madrigals
are beautiful and refined examples of the genre. They
also feature an important milestone in music history:
Rossi’s Primo libro di Madrigali á 5 (1600) includes the
first known printed intabulation for the chitarrone, also
known as the theorbo. This novelty creates a bridge
between the sixteenth-century polyphonic madrigal and
the new musical style of the early seventeenth century.
Alongside his prolific secular activities, Rossi,
being Jewish, tried to revolutionize the music in the
Synagogue by introducing polyphonic settings of
Hebrew prayers and psalms. These Hebrew pieces are
characterized by their elegant simplicity, yet at times
Rossi calls upon madrigalistic elements in order to
heighten the emotions in the listeners’ hearts.
“Song of ascents” is a title given to fifteen of the
Psalms, each of which starts with the Hebrew ascription
‫( תולעמה ריש‬Shir hama’alót). They are also referred to as
“gradual psalms”, “songs of steps” or “pilgrim songs”.
Many scholars believe these psalms were sung by
worshippers as they ascended the road to Jerusalem to
attend pilgrim festivals or by priests as they ascended
the fifteen steps to minister at the temple in Jerusalem.
They are well suited to being sung because of their poetic
form and the sentiments they express. Characterized by
brevity, by a keyword or by repetition, more than half
of them are cheerful and all of them are hopeful.

The Artists
S
Focusing on repertoire from the sixteenth and
early seventeenth centuries, the vocal ensemble
Profeti della Quinta aims to create vivid and
expressive performances for today’s audiences.
In particular, this is achieved through addressing
the performance practices of the time. From its core
of five male singers, the ensemble collaborates with
instrumentalists and additional singers
where required.
Profeti della Quinta has been active in researching
and performing hitherto neglected repertoire, such
as Emilio de’ Cavalieri’s Lamentations (1600) and
Salomone Rossi’s Hashirim asher li’Shlomo (1623),
the first publication of polyphony in Hebrew, which
they recorded on PAN Classics and Linn records to
critical acclaim. The ensemble performs regularly in
w
music festivals and venues around the world, such as
the Oude Muziek Festival in Utrecht (the Netherlands)
and the York Early Music Festival (UK). Profeti della
Quinta took part in a documentary about Salomone
Rossi, filmed in Mantua. In July 2011 the ensemble
won the York Early Music young artists competition.
Highlights of the 2014 season include concerts in
Canada, the United States, Japan, Germany, Austria
and France.
The Ensemble was founded in the Galilee region of
Israel by the bass and harpsichordist Elam Rotem. It is
currently based in Switzerland, where all its members
undertook further study at the Schola Cantorum
Basiliensis. The members of the ensemble have benefited
both individually and collectively from the expertise of
leading musicians in the field of early music.

Then it was said among the nations:
“The Lord has done great things
for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
Restore our fortunes, Lord, like
streams in the Negev.
Those who sow with tears will reap
with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carrying
seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
Sfogava con le stelle
prob. Ottavio Rinuccini
(1562-1621)
Sfogava con le stelle
Un infermo d’amore,
Sotto notturno ciel, il suo dolore;
E dicea, fisso in loro:
“O imagini belle
De l’idol mio ch’adoro,
Sì come a me mostrate,
Mentre così splendete,
La sua rara beltate,
Così mostraste a lei,
Mentre cotanto ardete,
I vivi ardori miei;
La fareste col vostro aureo sembiante
Pietosa sì, com’hor me fate amante.”
A lovesick man poured forth
To the stars
In the nighttime sky, his grief,
And said, his eyes fixed on them:
“Oh beautiful images
A song of ascents.
Of my idol, whom I adore,
When the Lord restored the
Just as you show me,
fortunes of Zion,
While you so glitter,
we were like those who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter, Her rare beauty,
So may you show her,
our tongues with songs of joy.
6
While you so strongly burn,
My living fires;
With your golden features,
you might make her Merciful, just
as you now make me amorous.”
Tu parti, ahi lasso
Giambattista Marino
(1569-1625)
Tu parti, ahi lasso, e il core
Mi parte il tuo partire;
E fra il dubbio e il martire,
Mentre ch’io tremo e piango,
Muto amante rimango.
Ma se tremando agghiaccio
Miseramente e taccio,
Parla il silentio e fann’ufficio
intanto
Gl’occhi di bocca e di parole
il pianto.
You are parting, alas,
And your parting parts my heart;
And among doubts and torments,
While I tremble and weep,
I remain a speechless lover.
But though in trembling I freeze
Miserably, and stay silent,
The silence speaks, and meantime
The eyes act for the mouth, and the
tears for the words.
Cor mio, deh, non languire
Giovanni Battista Guarini
(1538-1612)
Cor mio, deh, non languire,
Che fai teco languir l’anima mia.
Odi i caldi sospiri: a te gl’invia
La pietate e’l desire.
S’io ti potessi dar morend’aita,
Morrei per darti vita.
Ma vive, ohimè,
ch’ingiustamente more
Chi vivo tien ne l’altrui petto
il core.
My heart, oh, do not languish,
For you make my soul languish
with you.
Hear my hot sighs: they are sent
to you
By pity and desire.
If I could give you help by dying,
I would die to give you life.
But, alas, lives the one, who
unjustly dies
For keeping his heart alive in
another’s breast.

Udite, lacrimosi Spirti d’Averno
Guarini (from Il Pastor fido, III 6)
Tirsi mio, caro Tirsi
Guarini
Rimanti in pace
Livio Celiano (1557-1629)
Udite, lacrimosi
Spirti d’Averno, udite
Nova sorte di pene e di tormento.
Mirate crudo affetto
In sembiante pietoso:
La mia donna crudel più de
l’inferno.
Perchè una sola morte
Non può far satia la sua
ingorda voglia.
E la mia vita è quasi
Una perpetua morte:
Mi comanda ch’io viva,
Perchè la vita mia
Di mille mort’il dì ricetto sia.
Tirsi mio, caro Tirsi,
E tu ancor m’abbandoni?
Così morir mi lasci e non m’aiti?
Almen non mi negar gl’ultimi baci.
Ferrirà pur due petti un ferro solo;
Verserà pur la piaga
Di tua Filli il tuo sangue.
Tirsi, un tempo sì dolce e
caro nome,
Ch’invocar non soleva
indarno mai,
Soccorri a me, tua Filli,
Chè, come vedi, da spietata sorte
Condotta son a cruda et
empia morte.
Hear, watery
Spirits of Avernus, hear
A new fate of pain and of suffering.
Behold a cruel affection
In a merciful face:
‘Tis my lady, more cruel than Hell.
For a single death
Cannot satisfy her gluttonous desire.
And My life resembles
A perpetual death:
She commands me to live,
In order for my life
To be a harbour for a
thousand deaths per day.
My Tirsi, dear Tirsi,
Are you deserting me again?
Thus you leave me to my death
without helping me?
Do not refuse me, at least,
the last kisses.
One sword alone will indeed
wound two hearts;
The wound of your Filli
Will indeed shed your blood.
Tirsi, once a name so sweet and dear,
That I used never to appeal to
in vain,
Assist me, your Filli,
For as you see, by ruthless fate
I am led to a cruel and
wicked death
“Rimanti in pace,” alla dolente e
bella Fillida, Tirsi, sospirando, disse:
“Rimanti; io me ne vò,
tal mi prescrisse
Legge, empio fato e sorte aspra
e rubella.”
Ed ella, hora da l’una e l’altra stella
Stillando amaro umore,
i lumi affisse
Nei lumi del suo Tirsi, e gli traffisse
Il cor di pietosissime quadrella.
Ond’ei, di morte la sua
faccia impressa,
Disse: “ahi, come n’andrò senza il
mio Sole
Di martir in martir,
di doglie in doglie?”
Ed ella, da singhiozzi e pianti oppressa,
Fievolmente formò queste parole:
“Deh, cara anima mia,
chi mi vi toglie?”

“Stay in peace,” said Tirsi, sighing,
To the sorrowing and
beautiful Fillida.
“Stay; I must go, thus I’ve been
ordered by law,
by wicked destiny, by a harsh and
stubborn fate.”
And she, distilling a bitter liquid now
from the one,
Now from the other star,
fixed her beams

On the beams of her Tirsi, and pierced
His heart with most merciful darts.
At that point he,
with death stamped on his face,
Said: “alas! without my sun,
how will I survive,
Going from pain to pain,
from sorrow to sorrow?”
And she, oppressed with sighs
and tears,
Feverishly formed these words:
“Oh my dear soul, who takes you
away from me?”

Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

his faithfulness continues through

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord,

I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long

Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return
to the ground; on that very day their
plans come to nothing.
Blessed are those whose help is the
God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them,
he remains faithful forever.
The Lord upholds the cause of
the oppressed.
The Lord gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free.
The Lord gives sight to the blind,
The Lord lifts up those who are
bowed down,
The Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the
widow.] He frustrates the ways of the
wicked. The Lord reigns forever,
your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord.

By the rivers of Babylon,

remembered Zion.
On willows in its midst we hung
our lyres.
For there were we asked by our
captors to deliver songs and by our
oppressors to make merry,
sing us a song of Zion.
How can we sing the song of the Lord
in a foreign land?
If I forget you Jerusalem let my right
hand forget itself.
Let my tongue stick to my palate if I
do not remember you, if I do not raise
Jerusalem to the summit of my joy.
Remember Lord the sons of Edom in
the day of Jerusalem.
They said: raze it, raze it to its
foundations.
Daughter of Babylon to be ravaged,
blessed be he who repays you in the
coin you paid us.
Blessed be he who grasps and smashes
your babes against the rocks.

Behold, thou art fair, my love;
behold, thou art fair.
Thou hast doves’ eyes within thy locks;
thy hair is as a flock of goats that
appear from Mount Gilead.
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep
that are even shorn which came up
from the washing, whereof every
one bear twins, and none is barren
among them.
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and thy speech is comely; thy temples
are like a piece of a pomegranate
within thy locks.
Thy neck is like the tower of David
builded for an armory, whereon there
hang a thousand bucklers, all shields
of mighty men.
Thy two breasts are like two young
roes that are twins, which feed among
the lilies.
Until the day break and the shadows
flee away,
I will get me to the mountain of

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no

Alas, if you love so much
To hear me say “alas!”,
then why do you make
Him who says “alas!” die?
If I die, you’ ll only hear

But if you want, my heart,
For me to have life from you and
you from me,
You will have sweet “alas” by
the thousands.

Di quanti miei tormenti
Oggi fassi cagion il tuo splendore?
E de tuoi raggi ardenti,
Quanto, oh quanto,

Suffer from your burning rays?
But love so conquers me,
That though submerged midst
storms, and dead,
I love no less than if I were in

Vedrò’l mio sol
Guarini
In dolci lacci
Anonymous
Vedrò’l mio sol, vedrò prima
ch’io mora,
Quel sospirato giorno,
Che faccia il vostro raggio à
me ritorno.
O mia luce, o mia gioia,
Ben più me è dolce il tormentar
per vui,
che il gioir per altrui.
Ma senza morte io non
potrò soffrire,
Un sì lungo martire;
E s’io morrò, morrà mia
speme ancora,
Di veder mai d’un sì bel
dì l’aurora.
In dolci lacci e’in un soave foco
Mi sfaccio a poco a poco,
E tanta gioia sento
Fra le pene e il tormento,
Ch’io canto a tutte l’hore:
Viva, viva Amore che m’ardi il core!
I will see my sun, will see it
before I die,
On that sighing day,
That would make your ray return
to me.
Oh my light, oh my joy,
To torment for you is sweeter
Than to be happy for another.
But without death I will not be
able to suffer
Such a long pain;
and if I die, my hope to see
The dawn of such a beautiful day
will die as well.
In sweet bonds and in a gentle fire
I am destroyed little by little,
And I feel so much joy
Amidst the pains and torments,
That I sing at all hours:
Long live Love that burns my heart!

Magnified and sanctified be His
great name in the world
He created according to His will,
and may He establish His kingdom
during your life and during your
days and during the lives of all the
House of Israel speedily and shortly,
and say amen.
Blessed and praised and glorified and
elevated and exalted and extolled and
honored and celebrated be the name
of the Holy One, blessed be He.
High above, high above all blessings,
songs, praises and consolations that
we offer in this world, and say amen.
May acceptance be granted to the
prayers and petitions of all the House
of Israel by their Father who is in
heaven, and say amen.
May there be much peace from
heaven and a good life for us and for
all Israel, and say amen.
May He who makes peace on His
heights, Himself, in His mercy,
make peace for us and for all Israel,
and say amen.
