From the Sixth Book of Madrigals for Five Voices by Luca Marezio, as printed by the firm of Angelo Gardano in Venice, 1594. Gardano was one of the top music printing firms in the Veneto in the late 16th century. They are well known for their liturgical printing, including a small 1587 Graduale et Antiphonarium and a massive 1591 Graduale. The letters are from:
- A - Anima Cruda Si (seq. 10)
- M - Mentre Qual Viua Pietra (seq. 21)
And the music is the beginning of Mentre Qual Viua Pietra.
