Jacques Arcadelt (1507-1568): O Felice Occhi Miei (O felic’occhi miei)
From: Madrigali a 4 voci, Libro 1 (1539)
Originally for four voices. Arranged by Albert Folop for four viols (Tr T T B).

Jacques (or Jacob) Arcadelt was one of the most important composers of madrigals in the high renaissance. His first book of madrigals, published in 1539 within a decade of the appearance of the earliest examples of the form, was the most widely printed collection of madrigals of the entire era.

This is an instrumental adaptation of one of the madrigals from that collection, which I am playing as a quartet on mandolin, classical guitar (tuned in fifths), bouzouki and mandocello, using a setting for four viols by Albert Folop, available at IMSLP:

The instrument in the video is my newest toy, a very nice 1/2 size classical guitar retuned in fifths to CGDAE using Aquila nylgut strings.
