Pur Ti Miro, Love Duet from L'Incoronazione di Poppea, 2-part treble choir and piano

Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): Pur ti miro, dúo de amor de "La coronación de Popea", coro a 2 voces agudas y piano.

Edited by Ann Small.
Realization by Stephen Alltop.

This beautiful duet from Monteverdi's opera ?L'Incoronazione di Poppea? is a wonderful addition to the CME Opera Workshop series. This duet, which occurs at the end of the opera, beautifully illustrates Monteverdi's ability to interweave the vocal lines in a harmonically intriguing way. Ann Small's edition features an ornamented return of the first section of the duet with stylistic trills that contain repeated articulation of the same notes, a favored ornament during this musical period.
