An einem guten Orte by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
An einem guten orte,
weisz ich ein schönen Garten,
da scheint mir offt die Sonne,
da pfleg ich stetts, zu suchen freud und wonne.
Dahin ich alle tage,
ein kleines gaänglein wage,
mein feines Lieb zu sehen,
ich thu zu ihr hinein in Garten gehen.

About An einem guten Orte
Antonio Brunelli's An einem guten Orte is a secular part-song from the tradition of Italian madrigals, adapted here for SSB choir. The German text paints a vivid picture of a beloved garden, a place where the composer seeks joy and solace. He describes visiting his love there daily, breaking tender blossoms and sharing pleasant words. The composer extols this 'blessed paradise,' praising it for the frequent delight and mirth it brings to his heart. The music would have been conceived for the expressive capabilities of mixed-voice ensembles typical of the period, here arranged for treble voices.
