Alla Luna by Wytze Oostenbrug — Lyrics
Alla Luna
O graziosa luna, io mi rammento
che, or volge l’anno, sovra questo colle
io venia pien d’angoscia a rimirarti:
e tu pendevi allor su quella selva
siccome or fai, che tutta la rischiari.
Ma nebuloso e tremulo dal pianto
che mi sorgea sul ciglio, alle mie luci
il tuo volto apparia, che travagliosa

About Alla Luna
Wytze Oostenbrug’s Alla Luna is a rich SATB setting of a poignant Italian text. The composer captures the melancholic mood of the words, creating moments of gentle reflection alongside more intensely felt passages. The interplay between the voices evokes the singer’s solitary contemplation of the moon, recalling past sorrows. The music moves with a sensitive ebb and flow, mirroring the lyrical exploration of memory and enduring pain, yet finding a sense of solace in the recollection of youth and hope. This secular partsong offers a profound emotional journey for an experienced choir, with its expressive harmonies and skillful vocal writing.
