Abstract

This article reviews the peculiarities of the embodiment of the poetic text in the madrigals by Claudio Monteverdi from the "Eighth Book" of madrigals. For the study, we selected two "warlike" madrigals ("Se vittorie si belle" and "Armato il cor d'adamantina fede nell'amoroso regno") and one "love" ("Vago augelletto che cantando vai"). The composer's main task was to convey the affects that fill poetry. Monteverdi sought to reveal the beauty and meaning of the word in a variety of musical ways. The three principles of unifying poetry and music allow us to immerse ourselves more deeply in the subtleties of the embodiment of the effects of poetic text in music.
