An hellen Tagen by Giovanni Gastoldi — Lyrics
An hellen Tagen, Herz welch ein Schlagen.
Fa la la la la, fa la la.
Himmel dann blauet, Auge dann schauet,
Herz wohl den beiden, manches vertrauet.
Fa la la la la la, fa la la la.
Beim Dämm'rungsschimmer, Herz du schlägst immer
Fa la la la la, fa la la.
Ob auch zerronnen Strahlen und Wonnen,

About An hellen Tagen
An hellen Tagen is a delightful secular madrigal by Giovanni Gastoldi, perfect for a light-hearted moment in a concert programme. Sung in German, its text describes the steady beat of the heart throughout the day and night, from bright sunshine to the dim twilight and the deep of night. The music is characterised by the composer’s signature 'balletti' style, featuring lively and memorable melodies. The use of ‘fa la la’ refrains adds to the joyful and dance-like character of the piece. This SSATB setting offers rich harmonic possibilities while remaining accessible and engaging for both singers and listeners.
