Di gelo accesa by Giovanni Matteo Asola — Lyrics
Di gelo accesa del mio ardente lume,
con dilett' immortal tra questi poggi,
incoronata di frondosi rami,
invito dolcement'ogn'un per tempo,
lasciar in mond' e me seguir al cielo,

About Di gelo accesa
Giovanni Matteo Asola's Di gelo accesa is a secular Italian madrigal for two male voices. The intimate TT voicing allows for a close interplay between the parts, creating a rich texture. The text speaks of a divine light that, though born of earthly coldness, ignites with an immortal warmth. It invites the listener to leave the transient world behind and ascend to a heavenly realm, to gather fruits of true, eternal value rather than fleeting earthly pleasures. The music likely reflects this spiritual yearning and ultimate transcendence through its melodic and harmonic language, suited for the expressive possibilities of two voices.
