Here, imslp.org/wiki/O_vos_omnes_%28Gesualdo,_Carlo%29 there are a few versions.

Qualsiasi cosa con Aldo Fabrizi o Alberto Sordi. Il Marchese del Grillo è un capolavoro. I primissimi di Verdone, Un sacco bello e Bianco Rosso e Verdone.

@@snack_pl1ssken ciao il marchese del Grillo l'ho già visto 1000 volte...e non mi stanco mai, come altri di Sordi e tutto Verdone...cmq da quando ho lasciato questo messaggio mi sn portata avantissimo🤣 uno dei più belli in romanaccio che ho visto è Trastevere con Manfredi...gaiiiiiardo!

The G is a transition note to the F in measure 7

papaalphamike Williams Please tell Victoria “hello” from me

Ahead of his time... but maybe the others were just backward.

He hesitated while having his sword hovering above them, on the verge of penetration. “Did she have an affair with her lover? Dis she not?”, he was found muttering like for Schrödinger’s cat... Then he decided for it and penetrated (pun intended) them both transitively (penetrating her lover that is, whom he had found penetrating his (the lover’s) beloved, whom he was having an affair with). One can still hear their screams in the modulations of the song uploaded here by a sympathetic soul.

Gesualdo's works are astonishing, but yes, he was a criminal. He murdered his first wife and her "lover", and his second wife accused him of abuse, leading her family to try and obtain a divorce. Apparently, his later actions, including forced self-flagellation, indicate his guilt over this behaviour.

It is so stunning, actually, that our crap remains where it is. That is why it is called holy. In the holy of holies, so to speak. All this thanks to Gesualdo.

Michel Leclerc Pity he was a cold-blooded murderer and uxoricide. His art is extraordinarily levigated and complex however. I find listening to him a bit intimidating...mostly for the contradiction he incorporates. Because he did not simply kill his wife and her lover...he cut them to pieces and put them on display. Urgh.

I understand, Mr?/Ms? Kapps. We may hypothesise that the display was, cold-blooded that is, but not the killing itself. Hence, there would not be such a strong contradiction. The intensity of emotions is a source of all great art, as you will agree. Gesualdo was certainly moved by an intellectual motive to transcend the established boundaries of harmony of his times but also, or maybe even more, by an emotional urge to make his contrapuntal voice lines as expressive, as individual and as characterised as possible - and while doing so by a readiness to plunge into the abyss of tragedy and sadness. (His joyous passages never reach the pinnacles of Monteverdi, but then for seriousness and despair about life and creation, he will not be equalled until late Beethoven, Wagner, 20th-century music.) As you know, the Responsoria are from his last period, and there, I think, “it comes home to him” and he reaches the tone of remorse. Solving your, and my, and his, contradiction, in a way. By subsuming it into the mysteries of Christ’s Passion. Then, retrospectively, we can look back upon the Madrigali, and understand them differently. (By the way, iIf you do not know them, do listen to Stravinski’s and Sciarrino’s orchestrations of the Madrigali.)

Michel Leclerc I suggest you delve a little better into his biography. He was a meticulous man. Even in crime. And quite shady in his dealings. I know him well. His works I mean, for I am both Italian and a classical musician/composer. I admire his dealings with dissonance, but I do not idealistically dovetail with the idea of reconciliation after having cut up his young wife. As to Monteverdi being a pinnacle in music, instrumental exploration and polyphony, by all means yes. And Palestrina did his part also. But this man...mmm. I don't know. I cannot condone his behaviour. And somehow, what he did unsettles me and tends to stain my appreciation of his creations. A good day to you.

Gaby Kappa, thanks for the interesting observations. I think the point I and perhaps others would make is that Gesualdo was obviously highly emotional and erratic, and the music reflects that. He may have been meticulous in planning the heinous murders, but his biography shows an overwrought, guilt-ridden man who suffered greatly. Of course no one in their right mind would condone what he did. He is a horror. His music is kind of horrifying too, in some ways.
