Hor che la terra by Giovanni Matteo Asola — Lyrics
About Hor che la terra
When spring returns, and earth is bright with flowers and leaves, the composer Asola evokes the gentle breezes and the renewed life of the season. This secular Italian madrigal for two tenors sets a text that speaks of nature's rebirth and the returning warmth. Asola, a composer of the late Renaissance, crafts music that captures the spirit of the age, with its focus on word-painting and expressive harmony. The intimate voicing of TT makes it ideal for smaller ensembles seeking to explore the rich tradition of Italian secular polyphony.
