About Eolo crudel come turbasti l'onde
Imagine a tranquil Italian summer scene, where the gentle lapping of waves and the scent of flowers set the mood. Anton Gosswin’s Eolo crudel come turbasti l'onde, for SATTB voices, captures this idyllic atmosphere. This secular madrigal unfolds in three parts, depicting a journey of both outward travel and inner contemplation. The first part hints at a divine light guiding from above, while the second celebrates a moment of perfect calm at sea and on land. The final section describes setting sail towards a safe harbour, leaving behind storms and harsh skies. It is a delightful portrayal of peace and gentle progress, perfect for a sophisticated choral programme.
