Come de voi piu bella

Girolamo Scotto was active in Venice during the 16th century, a vibrant centre for secular part-music. This short, delightful madrigal for two sopranos and tenor captures the spirit of the age. The Italian text speaks of a love so unique and powerful that it has no equal, comparing its intensity to the unparalleled beauty of the beloved. Scotto sets this text with delicate vocal lines, creating a sweet and intimate musical reflection on the overwhelming nature of love. The piece is ideal for smaller ensembles looking for charming Renaissance repertoire.
