In un boschetto by Luca Marenzio — Lyrics
In un boschetto de bei Mirti e Allori,
al' hor che d'herb'e fior vago è'l terreno,
vidi un pastor à la sua Ninfa in seno?
Dicea la Ninfa con grate parole:
Dite caro mio ben, dolce mio sole,
dov' è l'anima tua, dov' è il tuo core?

About In un boschetto
Marenzio's In un boschetto opens with a gentle evocation of a pastoral scene, the SSB voices weaving a delicate texture. The Italian text describes a shepherd and his nymph in a pleasant grove, where the nymph tenderly questions her lover about his affections. The shepherd, with a sigh mixed with sweetness and distress, declares that she is his soul, his heart, and his life. The nymph then responds with a smile and playful words, kissing him. This secular Italian madrigal captures the intimate conversation and burgeoning romance with Marenzio's characteristic expressive harmony and melodic grace, showcasing a delightful interplay between the singers.
