L'altr'hier di sera by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
L’altro hier di sera al lume della luna
Vidi tra dolce e cara compagnia
Tutta gioiosa andar la donna mia.
E con grato parlar a lei m’aggionsi,
Seco’l camin scorrendo in gioco e’n riso,

About L'altr'hier di sera
Hans Leo Hassler's L'altr'hier di sera is a delightful secular canzonetta for SATB choir. Written in Italian, the text describes a joyful evening encounter with a loved one under the moonlight. The poet recounts approaching his companion, their conversation flowing easily as they walk, creating a sense of heavenly bliss. He exclaims his fortune at experiencing such a blessed evening and seeing the one who alone can heal his sorrows. The music likely captures the lighthearted and romantic sentiments of the words, typical of the canzonetta genre, with clear textures and memorable melodies suitable for a chamber choir.
