Transcription d’un original vocal, Vergine Bella reprend un madrigal dévotionnel (ou «lauda») du compositeur mantouan Bartolomeo Tromboncino et parvient, avec ses divisions tout en retenue, à préserver la polyphonie et la forme originelles, y compris l’«Amen» conclusif.

Français: Hypérion

Vergine Bella ist eine Transkription eines ursprünglich für Gesang bestimmten Stücks – in diesem Fall eines Erbauungsmadrigals („lauda“) des mantuanischen Komponisten Bartolomeo Tromboncino. Die gemäßigten Diminutionen lassen die Polyphonie und die Form der Vorlage mit ihrem abschließenden „Amen“ intakt.
