Clori lucent' e bella by Adriano Banchieri — Lyrics
Clori lucent'e bella,
voi sete proprio il Sol non che una stella,
perche se in voi risguardo
avampo di dolcezza, e nel cor ardo.
Voi sete di vezzosa,
che sopra gli altri fior sete una rosa,

About Clori lucent' e bella
Adriano Banchieri's villanella Clori lucent' e bella is a delightful Italian secular work for two sopranos and tenor. The text paints a picture of a beloved, radiant woman, comparing her to the sun and a rose, and expressing the lover's ardent admiration. The music likely reflects this tender sentiment with its characteristic lively yet graceful style. This is a charming addition to a programme of Renaissance or early Baroque part-music, perfect for an intimate setting or a summer concert, capturing the light-hearted spirit of the villanella tradition.
