Che fa oggi il mio sole by Luca Marenzio — Lyrics
Che fa oggi il mio sole,
che fa'l mio canto e'l suono,
che non cantan di lei la gloria e'l nome?

About Che fa oggi il mio sole
Imagine a warm spring day, a moment for reflection on love. Luca Marenzio’s madrigal Che fa oggi il mio sole captures this sentiment beautifully. This secular work, set for SSATB voices in Italian, speaks of the singer’s beloved and their absence. The text expresses a longing for the sun and song to return, and a wish to offer violets and flowers to crown their lover's hair. Marenzio, a master of the Italian Renaissance madrigal, crafts expressive music that reflects the poetic imagery. It is a delightful piece for an experienced choir seeking to explore the rich harmonic language and emotional depth of the period, perfect for a concert programme seeking a touch of pastoral romance.
