About Di dolci notti e d’amorosi accenti
This delightful Italian madrigal by Horatio Colombano, Di dolci notti e d’amorosi accenti, paints a vivid scene of nature's beauty and gentle streams. The text, full of affectionate language, describes how the clear waters and favorable skies bestow their sweet affections, caressed by joyful and frothy waves. The piece then introduces a 'Duce' who ensures eternal fame and perpetual springtime, bringing forth songs of joy from north to south.
