Ergasto con tuoi sotii by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
4. Ergasto con tuoi sotii
Vann'in cim'a quel colle
E tu Silvano all'entrar della vall'i tuoi conduci,
Ponti Uranio alla post'entr'a quel sasso,
Stia Montan'alla font'e voi ne gite
A capo della selva io qui mi resto,

About Ergasto con tuoi sotii
Ruggiero Giovannelli conjures a vibrant hunting scene in this secular Italian madrigal. The text vividly describes hunters directing their hounds into the undergrowth, the baying of the dogs echoing as they pursue their quarry. The composer captures the excitement and energy of the chase, with the music likely mirroring the mounting tension and eventual discovery. Scored for an impressive SATTTB ensemble, this piece offers rich vocal textures and a rewarding challenge for larger choirs. The intricate interplay between the voice parts allows for a dynamic and colorful rendition of the dramatic text, making it a compelling choice for madrigal singers.
