E d'onde trepidetta aura lasciva by Giovanni Andrea Dragoni — Lyrics
E d'onde trepidetta aura lasciva
Che sì dolce volando?
Si festosa sonando
Ten vai per questa riva,
Quest'altrove ben viva è qui pur morta.
Senza spirto alma mia tal ne consoli,
Si pur suo fuoco alle mie fiamme involi,
Ch'altro come tu fai non ne conforta.

About E d'onde trepidetta aura lasciva
Giovanni Andrea Dragoni's madrigal E d'onde trepidetta aura lasciva is a delightful secular piece for SATTB voices. Set in Italian, it captures a Renaissance sensibility, with its intricate vocal interplay characteristic of the genre. The text paints a vivid pastoral scene, where a gentle, playful breeze questions why it finds life and sound where the soul is already 'dead' or lacking spirit. It then explains its purpose: to bring renewed life and comfort. This piece would be well-suited for an occasion that calls for lighthearted, evocative Renaissance part-music, perhaps an outdoor festival or a themed concert celebrating nature and amorous expression.
