Bella mia cacciatrice
Ben sei Cintia novella,
E forsi ancor più bella.
Hà la luna ella in fronte.

About Bella mia cacciatrice
Bella mia cacciatrice is a secular madrigal for SSATB voices by Antonio Cifra. The text, a poem by Gasparo Murtola, offers a delightful comparison between a beloved huntress and the goddess Diana, often associated with the moon and hunting. The poet praises his lady, calling her a new Diana and finding her eyes brighter than the sun itself. Cifra’s setting likely captures the light and elegant nature of the text, suitable for a Renaissance-style chamber or festival performance. This vibrant Italian composition would bring a touch of pastoral charm to any programme.
