About Che fa hoggi il mio sole
Jan Tollius's madrigal Che fa hoggi il mio sole unfolds with intricate vocal lines for SSATTB, creating a rich and flowing texture. The composer skilfully weaves the five parts together, reflecting the poetic sentiments with delightful interplay. The Italian text speaks of the singer's beloved, questioning where their sun has gone and offering violets and flowers to crown her hair. This secular work from the Renaissance tradition showcases a masterful command of polyphony, with each voice contributing to the overall beauty and expressive quality of the music. It is a fine example of the expressive power of ensemble singing in this genre.
