About Dall'orto se ne vien
Filippo Azzaiolo was a composer of the Italian Renaissance. Dall'orto se ne vien is a secular madrigal for SATB voices, sung in the original Italian. The text paints a vivid picture of a country girl carrying a basket of marjoram from the garden, adorned with roses and flowers. She is playfully elusive, teasing a suitor who struggles to win her affection. The lively dialogue and spirited tone suggest a lighthearted pastoral scene, characteristic of the era's lighter madrigal style. Azzaiolo’s setting captures the rustic charm and playful banter of the lyrics.
