About I liet' amanti
Truid Aagesen composed I liet' amanti, a secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices. The text speaks of lovers and tender maidens recalling the fire and bow of Venus' son as they wander through meadows. This piece captures the spirit of Renaissance part-music, with its focus on word-painting and harmonic colour to express the emotions of the text. The male voices of the TTB setting offer a particular warmth and resonance, ideal for conveying the tender sentiments of the Italian lyrics.
