Dalle labbia rosate by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
Dalle labbia rosate
spira dolce aura di celesti odori,
tra le perl'escon fuori
l'angeliche parole entro formate,
così soave e grate

About Dalle labbia rosate
Ruggiero Giovannelli’s Dalle labbia rosate is a secular Italian madrigal for SSATB choir. It paints a vivid picture of a lover’s sweet breath, carrying heavenly scents and angelic words. The text describes how this lover’s speech and laughter are so captivating that they could halt the sun and calm the winds, setting the heart alight with desire. This is a wonderful opportunity for a choir to explore the expressive possibilities of Renaissance polyphony, bringing to life the rich imagery and passionate sentiment of the Italian Renaissance. The intricate vocal lines offer a chance for skilled singers to showcase their command of colour and dynamic contrast.
