Anima eletta by Angelo Notari — Lyrics
Anima eletta che, co'l tuo fattore,
ti godi àssi saned tellati chiostri,
ove lucentè bella horti di nostri,
tutta pietosa del mondano errore:
se mai vera pieta se giusto amore,
ti sospinse acurar de dàni nostri,
fra si distorte vie fra tanti mostri,

About Anima eletta
Angelo Notari's Anima eletta opens with a delicate interplay of voices, drawing the listener into a rich texture characteristic of the Italian madrigal. The music reflects the devotional and emotional nature of the text, which addresses a chosen soul in heavenly contemplation. This secular part-song explores themes of piety, worldly error, and a plea for spiritual guidance. The Italian lyrics speak of finding a lost heart amidst distorted paths and monsters, and implore the blessed soul to intercede. The composer masterfully crafts the vocal lines to convey both the solemnity of the plea and the eventual transcendence described in the text, creating a compelling musical narrative for the choir.
