There are two books: The Oxford Book of English Madrigals and The Oxford Book of Italian Madrigals. I might do Arcadelt's Il bianco e dolce cigno, which Orlando Gibbons responded to some decades later with The Silver Swan
The Arcadelt dates to 1531

The Gibbons dates to 1610
In both the use of dissonance is interesting.
