Selva morale e spirituale

Album by Claudio Monteverdi & Michel Corboz

Selva morale e spirituale is a collection of sacred music by Claudio Monteverdi, published in 1640. The music combines Renaissance polyphonic technique with emerging Baroque concertato elements, alternating choral polyphony with pieces for solo voices supported by basso continuo and instruments, and it represents a late-career synthesis that bridges conservative liturgical practice and the newer expressive styles of the early Baroque.
First released: 22nd February 1997
