satia l'anima mia,
bramava udir quella celeste,e vera,

About Di terrena armonia
Orlando di Lasso's Di terrena armonia paints a picture of spiritual longing, where the soul, sated with earthly harmony, yearns for the celestial and true music that brings complete contentment. The text describes a fortunate encounter with Anna, an angelic figure sent from heaven, whose holy beauty and sincere love lift the singer's thoughts high above the earth. This richly imagined secular madrigal for SATTB voices explores the transformative power of divine beauty and love, expressed in the flowing Italian of its lyrics. Lasso masterfully captures the emotional journey from earthly desires to spiritual elevation, creating a work of profound expressive depth.
