There is a trend for authors to add book playlists to the front- or backmatter of their book. These playlists are songs the author listened to while writing or found inspirational or thinks the reader will enjoy while reading the book.
My list is not like that. Each book in this series is about musicians and singers, and key scenes revolve around beautiful and meaningful pieces of music. Some readers might enjoy listening to these songs after reading the book, so I have included a song list in the book’s backmatter and I’m posting it here too. Link to the Spotify list below. For two songs I found lovely versions on YouTube that I prefer to what is available on Spotify. Here they all are for your listening enjoyment!
Songs on YouTube:
Deus, tuorum, militum (HRE Ferdinand III)
Arvoles Yoran por Luvias (Ladino love song, Lily Henley)
The complete list:
Nan bobò nan bobò (Veneto) Lullaby
O come sei gentile (Claudio Monteverdi)
Lamento d’Arianna (Claudio Monteverdi)
LIbera Me (Traditional)
Et resurrexit, a quattro (Claudio Monteverdi)
Confitebor tibi Domine (Claudio Monteverdi)
Deus in adjutorium meum intende
The Gondoliers Act 1:3 For the Merriest Fellows
La Roza Enflorece (Ladino love song)
Pange lingua gloriosi (Plain-chant)
Ferdinand III wrote a version of this. This is not his version but it is lovely.
Deus, tuorum militum (motet) HRE Ferdinand III
Let me open my lips (Salamone Rossi)
Arvoles Yoran por Luvias (Ladino love song, Lily Henley)
Her album of Ladino songs is on Spotify. It’s a great album, but I happen
To like this version of hers better.
