About Con acque , dunque e terre e valli e monti
Horatio Colombano’s Con acque, dunque e terre e valli e monti is a delightful secular madrigal for SATTB voices. The music opens with a flowing, imitative texture, suggesting the fresh waters and favourable skies described in the text. As the poem progresses, the music subtly shifts to reflect the bounty of nature and the joy of perpetual spring. The Italian text praises the natural world and the arrival of a leader who brings eternal summer, creating a vibrant and optimistic atmosphere. This piece showcases the rich harmonic language and expressive possibilities characteristic of the Italian madrigal tradition, offering a rewarding challenge for an accomplished choir.
