Dal molle seno by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger — Lyrics
Dal molle seno della pura fonte
che sorge al' aura del seren giaconda,
figlia canora, del superbo monte,
mormorar l'onda.
Ai vaghi accenti del amico vento,
che dolce muove sussurrando l'onde,
del sempre ago fuggitivo argento
echo risponde.
Su' le fiorite cime d'arbuscelli,
forman dal seno gl’augelletti fuore,

About Dal molle seno
This intimate SB duet by Kapsperger evokes the gentle sounds of nature. The flowing Italian text describes a pure spring rising from a mountain, its waters murmuring to the breeze. Birdsong joins the melodic scene, with echoes responding to the wind's caress and the happy sounds of lovers. The music captures this pastoral imagery, with the two voices weaving together like the elements of the poem. It paints a picture of a serene landscape, where water, wind, birds, and the dawn all contribute to a beautiful, musical scene.
