Number of voices: 5vv   Voicing: SAATB

Genre: SecularMadrigal

Description: Mia benigna fortuna is the first stanza of the Sestina No. 332 in Petrarca's Canzoniere. Crudel, acerba, inesorabil Morte is the second stanza of the same poem. In the first edition of Lasso's First Book of Madrigals, published by Gardano in 1555, and in its reprint of 1570, however, they are separate madrigals, and Crudel, acerba, inesorabil Morte does not immediately follow Mia benigna fortuna.
