L'amoroso Delfino lascia i profondi abissi e'l caro nido,
e' scherz' à l'ond' e fugge e core allida

About l'amoroso delfino
On a balmy spring day, the music conjures the image of a dolphin leaving the deep sea for the shallows, leaping and playing in the waves. Felice Anerio's delightful Italian madrigal, set for SAB voices, captures the joyous spirit of the text. The music is light and playful, mirroring the imagery of the sea and the dolphin's carefree dance. Perfect for a secular concert programme, this piece offers a charming and evocative musical moment. Its elegant melody and accessible harmonies make it a rewarding choice for choirs looking to explore the rich tradition of Renaissance secular part-music.
