Al fiammengiar de bei vostr' occhi ardenti by Bernardino Mosto — Lyrics
Al fiammeggiar de bei vostri occhi ardenti
Il mar s'allegra e i venti,
e gl'augelletti già d'amor ripieni
con dolci e grati accenti
Giran scherzando intorno,

About Al fiammengiar de bei vostr' occhi ardenti
A celebration of beauty, this secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices paints a vivid picture of love and nature. The text describes how the beloved's bright eyes bring joy to the sea and winds, while birds sing with love-filled voices. They playfully circle her adorned hair, as if Spring itself has returned to offer charming flowers and Cupid himself has come to adorn her face with even more exquisite colours. Bernardino Mosto's composition would have been sung in intimate social gatherings of the Renaissance, where the expressive text and intricate vocal lines would have been appreciated by both performers and listeners alike.
