Angel dal terzo ciel by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
Angel dal terzo ciel sceso fra noi
per riportarne teco
fra spiriti beati
la nova Elena tua diletta sposa.
Ecco, i celesti fati

About Angel dal terzo ciel
Andrea Gabrieli was a celebrated composer of the late Renaissance, known for his contributions to sacred and secular music. Angel dal terzo ciel is a secular madrigal for SAATB voices, sung in Italian. The text paints a celestial scene, with an angel descending to bring a beloved bride to the heavens to be reunited with her love. It speaks of eternal joy and spiritual union, with the bride's heart belonging to her beloved and his soul finding rest in her. The music would have been conceived for intimate performance, reflecting the elaborate and expressive nature of the Italian madrigal tradition.
