Da canori passaggi by Domenico Obizzi — Lyrics
Da canori passaggi io passai spesso,
al mormorio de baci e de sospiri,
e confusi s'udian co'l canto stesso,
i maggiti gl'anneliti e respiri.

About Da canori passaggi
This delightful Italian madrigal, Da canori passaggi, from the secular Renaissance repertoire is ideal for an intimate setting or a concert programme. Sung by a solo soprano voice, it offers a chance to showcase expressive vocalism. The text describes the intimate sounds of love, with singing interwoven with murmurs, sighs, and breaths. The composer uses these vivid textual images to create a rich harmonic and melodic language, capturing the intensity of the lovers' affections through swirling melodic lines and varied vocal inflections, from sustained notes to languid phrases. It is a charming piece for a discerning choir director looking for a refined and expressive solo opportunity.
