About A le caste fiammelle
Michel' Angelo Cancineo's A le caste fiammelle is a secular Italian madrigal for STTTB voices. The text celebrates a union, invoking imagery of sacred warmth, ascending stars, and a serene sky around seven hills. It speaks of a brighter day dawning, with love making offerings of rich spoils. The poem concludes with a wish for Amor to bind Honofrio and Erminia with his arrows and bow, signifying their deep connection and devotion.
