About "Lagrime d’amante al sepolcro dell’amata: V. O chiome d'or" by Voces8
Voces8 distills Monteverdi's lament into a single golden lock of hair—'O chiome d'or'—each voice a strand of grief braided with longing. The polyphony shimmers like light on a tomb, calm surfaces hiding the tremor of loss beneath.
