Da ricca pianta by Enrico Radesca — Lyrics
La ricca pianta leggiadretti fiori,
prendea la bella Clori:
ne tanti con la man blanc' ancidea,
quanti co'l sguard' alhor nascer facea,
cara mano letale,

About Da ricca pianta
Enrico Radesca’s Da ricca pianta is a secular Italian madrigal for two voices. The text paints a picture of the beautiful Clori, surrounded by flowers. As she gathers blossoms, her hands seem to bring forth new ones, and her gaze has a similar life-giving power. The lyrics explore the paradox of her touch and sight, bringing both life and death, celebrating those born from her beauty and those who die around her radiant hair. It is a charming and evocative piece, ideal for intimate performance settings where its delicate interplay of voices can be fully appreciated.
