I FURIOSI: Hear us

-Così morì Lucrezia

(I Furiosi Baroque Ensemble with Olivier Fortin, Harpsichord)
2005-12-04
music by Michel Pignolet de Monteclair (1667-1737)
Così morì Lucrezia, e mostrò al Tebro
Nove strade al trionfo,
Ed ad onta de’Tarquinii e del orgoglio
Trionfò, ben che morta, in Campidoglio.

TRANSLATION
Thus died Lucrezia, and showed the Tiber
New heights of triumph,
And to the shame of the Tarquins and of pride,
She triumphed, even in death, upon the Capitol.
