Cinta di fiori un giorno by Maddalena Casulana — Lyrics
Cinta di fior'un giorno,
a la riva d'un fiume,
sedea la nimpha mia
pescand' al' onde,
e gli'augellett' in torno,
e gli'arbor' e le fronde,

About Cinta di fiori un giorno
Maddalena Casulana’s Cinta di fiori un giorno is a secular Italian madrigal for SAAT voices. The music captures the idyllic scene described in the text: a nymph by a riverbank, adorned with flowers, fishing. The composer paints a picture of perfect harmony, where the birds, trees, and leaves sing along with her, and the wind is silent, only the gentle murmur of the waves accompanying her sweet voice. Casulana’s madrigal masterfully evokes this tranquil and melodic atmosphere through its carefully crafted vocal interplay and rich harmonic language, typical of Renaissance part-music.
