The last great publishing by Monteverdi, the Selva morale e spirituale (1640-41) and Messa and Salmi (posthumously published in 1650) collect the most important sacred plays composed in the last decades of his life. These pieces foresee a rich variety of compositions and include plays for choir and for soloist voices in a madrigalistic style. The theme of the life weakness, revealed from the program proposed by Maestro Sir John Eliot Gardiner and from his most famous assortments, reveals to us also the strict connections between sacred and profane: the tragic Pianto della Madonna is a sacred version of the lamento dell'eroina from the second Monteverdi play, L'Arianna.
