I hadn't heard of Gesuldo.
I see on Wiki
>Carlo Gesualdo, known as Gesualdo da Venosa (March 8, 1566 September 8, 1613), Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza, was an Italian music composer, lutenist and nobleman of the late Renaissance. He is famous for his intensely expressive madrigals, which use a chromatic language not heard again until the 19th century; and also for committing what are amongst the most notorious murders in musical history.
I'll have to look him up.Striggio wrote this, I dunno if it was at the same time, but close. I like it, depiction of heaven and stuff
