Description: This madrigal is sometimes attributed to Luca Marenzio, simply because of the fact that it was published in his 5th book for six voices, but it is clearly stated there that it is "del Sig. Antonio Bicci", like Bicci's madrigal Deh, dolc'anima mia, non pianger più. Genae tuae Virgo is a sacred contrafact of this work by Simone Molinaro, from his Fatiche Spirituali of 1610.
