L'immens' e alte virtute by Jhan Gero — Lyrics
L'immens' e alte virtute,
ch'in voi donna gentil risplend' ognhora,
di voi mi speng' a dir' e m'innamora,
e se laura che spira si soave,
tal' hor nel verde lauro,
ver me spiegasse quello frond' ornate,

About L'immens' e alte virtute
Jhan Gero's L'immens' e alte virtute is a secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices. The text expresses a deep admiration for a noble lady, praising her immense and high virtues which constantly shine. The composer conveys a sense of being moved to speak and fall in love with her qualities. He imagines a scenario where a gentle breeze might reveal the ornate laurel branches, allowing him to approach this great treasure and sing her praises with elevated style. The poem concludes by stating that she is the most beautiful flower among many, to be celebrated always.
