Da poi che sul fiorire by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
Da poi che sul fiorire
veggio esser morta la speranza mia:
che posso aver di ben più ch'il morire?
E qual morte fu mai più dolce e pia,
pur ch'uscendo di vita

About Da poi che sul fiorire
Andrea Gabrieli's Da poi che sul fiorire sets a text of despair and yearning, where the composer's hope has died and only death seems possible. The speaker contemplates a 'sweet and pious' death, wishing to follow his beloved to the afterlife. This secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices captures the intense, dramatic emotion of the Renaissance text. Gabrieli's setting, rich and complex, reflects the literary and musical sensibilities of the era, making it a compelling choice for those seeking authentic madrigal repertoire.
