All' apparir di Dori by Horatio Colombano — Lyrics
All’apparir di Dori anzi del sole,
Vedersi germogliar rose e viole,
Et ad onta del verno,
Rise à l’herbe, à le piante April eterno,
Onde le ninfe insieme e i pastori,

About All' apparir di Dori
This delightful Italian madrigal for SSATTB voices paints a vivid picture of springtime's arrival, heralded by the appearance of Dori, likened to the sun itself. The text describes roses and violets blooming, the grass and plants laughing in eternal April despite winter's chill. Nymphs and shepherds gather to enjoy this sweet springtime, singing amidst fragrant flowers, all in praise of the beautiful Dori. Horatio Colombano’s setting captures the joyful, secular spirit of the Renaissance madrigal, with its intricate vocal lines and rich harmonies reflecting the beauty of the natural world and the delight inspired by its muse.
