Dove sorge piacevole by Hippolito Sabino — Lyrics
Dove sorge piacevole,
Sebeto e dilettevole,
V’è un bel ricetto ch’alte
Piant’adombrano,
E da cor mesti ogni gran noia sgombrano,
Quivi lieta sedea fra l’herbe tenere.

About Dove sorge piacevole
The text of Dove sorge piacevole paints a picture of a delightful place, where a river flows pleasantly and tall plants provide shade, clearing away sorrow and worry. It is here that happy nymphs and shepherds gather, their joyful singing filling the air. This secular madrigal for SSATTB voices captures the pastoral charm and amorous spirit of the Renaissance. Hippolito Sabino’s setting brings to life the lively scene described in the Italian lyrics, with a call to sing for the beautiful Dori and celebrate the spirit of Venus. The music would have been intended for intimate gatherings and the entertainment of the court.
