One of Monteverdi’s most strik­ing com­po­si­tions is his mini-opera Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. In it, a nar­ra­tor tells the tale of the bat­tle between the cru­sad­er Tancredi and the woman with whom he is in love, the Muslim fight­er Clorinda. Tancredi stabs Clorinda, and it is only after he removes her hel­met that he realis­es who she is. La Fonte Musica pays trib­ute to the mas­ter of the madri­gal with a recon­struc­tion of this excep­tion­al work for which he devel­oped the stile conci­ta­to.
