The Madrigal was the most prominent genre of secular vocal music in the Renaissance and early Baroque.Lamenti and Love Songs follows the evolution of the madrigal from the highly expressive polyphonies of Luzzascho Luzzaschi and Carlo Gesualdo to the revolutionary and visionary works by Claudio Monteverdi that decisively shaped the Baroque era.

Profeti della Quinta have been active in performing and researching 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.
