All'hora i pastor tutti by Claudio Monteverdi — Lyrics
All'hora i pastor tutti
Del Tebro e Ninfe a schiera
Corsero a l'harmonia lieti, e veloci
E di fior e di frutti

About All'hora i pastor tutti
This lively madrigal by Claudio Monteverdi depicts a joyous gathering in praise of Fumia. As shepherds and nymphs rush to an "harmony" – perhaps a musical gathering or celebration – they bring gifts of flowers and fruits from spring. Monteverdi's SSATB setting captures the celebratory mood with spirited Italian text. The music would suit a secular concert programme, bringing a taste of Italian Renaissance part-music to life, evoking the fresh abundance of spring and the happy bustle of its arrival.
