Hor ch'ogni vento tace by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
Hor ch’ogni vento tace
e sol fresch’aura spira in queste fronde,
che dolcemente tempr’il cald’estivo,
sediam qui tutti in pace

About Hor ch'ogni vento tace
This elegant Italian madrigal by Orazio Vecchi evokes a tranquil summer scene. The text paints a picture of stillness, where with all winds hushed and only a gentle breeze stirring, nymphs and shepherds are invited to rest in peace by the murmuring stream. They are urged to sing praises to the beautiful Dori. Scored for SSATTB, this secular Renaissance part-music offers a charming pastoral idyll, perfect for a choir seeking to capture the delicate atmosphere and lyrical beauty of the period. The interplay of the seven voices creates a rich and expressive texture, ideal for bringing this idyllic setting to life.
