'Rimanti in pace a la dolente e bella Fillida' is a vocal piece composed by Claudio Monteverdi, which is part of his second book of madrigals. The piece was composed in the early 17th century and premiered in 1590. It is a part of the second book of madrigals, which was published in 1590. The piece is divided into two movements, with the first movement being a slow and mournful lament, while the second movement is more upbeat and lively. The first movement is characterized by its use of chromaticism, which creates a sense of tension and sadness. The vocal lines are also highly expressive, with the singers using a variety of vocal techniques to convey the emotions of the text. The second movement is more lively and features a more rhythmic and dance-like melody. The vocal lines are more playful and the harmonies are more consonant, creating a sense of joy and celebration. The piece ends with a return to the mournful melody of the first movement, creating a sense of closure and resolution. Overall, 'Rimanti in pace a la dolente e bella Fillida' is a beautiful and expressive vocal piece that showcases Monteverdi's mastery of the madrigal form. Its use of chromaticism, expressive vocal lines, and contrasting movements make it a standout piece in the second book of madrigals.
