Lewis, Committee Chairperson FORGOTTEN VOICES: Transcriptions of the anonymous madrigals of a Venetian print of 1541 Joseph A. Figliulo M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 1994 This edition presents transcriptions in modern notation of the anonymous six-voice madrigals of La piu divina, et piu bella musica...a sei voci. Composti per lo Eccellentissimo Verdelot (RISM 154116), the first printed collection of six-voice madrigals. Though many of the attributed pieces from this collection have been transcribed, the anonymous works, which comprise over a third of the print, have not. Since anonymous works represent a large portion of existing sixteenth-century madrigals, these works must be included in any comprehensive study of the genre. This thesis is an effort to make some of these anonymous works available. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people made the completion of this work possible. I would like to thank Dr. Don Franklin and Dr. Mary Lewis for their guidance and advice. Dr. Francesca Savioa provided the translations of the texts, and advised me in general with questions of verse structure and grammer. I would also like to thank the friends who gave me helpful hints and encouragement: David DeAngelo, Gail Kirkwood, Bill Lawson, Kris Rust, and Elizabeth Way (who also shared her computer). Finally, I would like to thank Don Byrd, who taught me how to use Finale, helped me work out the numerous problems, and put up with me while I was working on it.
