Da l'estrem' orizzonte by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Da l'estremo orizzonte,
La v'è l'Orsa di Giove,
Gran pregi mostra e'l suo felice errore
Un' aura ch'ogni or move:
Lamoral d'Agamonte

About Da l'estrem' orizzonte
The words of Cipriano de Rore's Da l'estrem' orizzonte celebrate the glory and enduring fame of a hero whose presence is felt across the land, bringing honour both in life and after death. This secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices vividly paints a scene of power and renown, invoking cosmic imagery and martial might. De Rore, a master of Renaissance polyphony, crafts music that reflects the dramatic and elevated nature of the text. The composer's skill in setting words to music is evident, with each voice part contributing to the rich and complex harmonic fabric. This composition offers a compelling example of the Italian madrigal tradition, where poetic ideals and musical expression are deeply intertwined.
