Da l'odorate spoglie by Luzzasco Luzzaschi — Lyrics
Da l'odorate spoglie,
Scioglie te homai la mano,
Che'l mio voler e disvoler mi toglie.
Et quell' Arpa felice,
A cui non si disdice,

About Da l'odorate spoglie
Luzzasco Luzzaschi, a prominent composer of the late Renaissance, wrote Da l'odorate spoglie for SATTB voices. This secular madrigal, set to an Italian text, exemplifies the genre's sophisticated interplay of voices and expressive musical setting of poetry. The lyrics speak of releasing the beloved from fragrant coverings, a plea for their voice and harp to bring solace and joy. The music likely reflects the emotional arc of the text, moving from intimate introspection to a passionate expression of desire for the beloved's presence and song. It is a fine example of Italian polyphony from this period.
