Ecco mormorar l'onde by Claudio Monteverdi — Lyrics
Ecco mormorar l'onde
e tremolar le fronde
a l'aura mattutina e gli arboscelli,
e sovra i verdi rami i vaghi augelli
cantar soavemente
e rider l'oriente.
Ecco già l'alba appare
e si specchia nel mare

About Ecco mormorar l'onde
Claudio Monteverdi's Ecco mormorar l'onde is a secular madrigal for SSATB voices. The text paints a picture of a beautiful, serene dawn, where the gentle morning breeze causes waves to murmur and leaves to tremble. Birds sing sweetly on the branches, and the orient appears with the first light. The dawn is reflected in the sea, clearing the sky and gilding the mountaintops. The composer captures this idyllic scene with exquisite musical imagery, reflecting the Renaissance ideal of the union of poetry and music. This is a vivid and evocative piece, showcasing the expressive power of the madrigal form.
