Eran Ninfe e Pastori by Alessandro Striggio — Lyrics
Eran Ninfe e Pastori uniti
Contra le Grazi’ e con gl’Amori
E di suon’e di canti
facean tal armonia
Che si fermav’il sol, l’herba fioria;

About Eran Ninfe e Pastori
This madrigal by Alessandro Striggio paints a delightful picture of nymphs and shepherds gathered together. Their union, enhanced by the Graces and Loves, creates such harmonious song and music that the sun itself seems to pause and the earth bursts into bloom. With garlands of amaranth woven from roses and song, they express their joy in verses celebrating Dori. Sung in Italian, this SSATTB setting is ideal for a celebratory occasion, perhaps a pastoral scene or a Renaissance-themed concert, where its rich textures and vivid imagery can be fully appreciated by both performers and listeners.
