Fratello sole, sorella luna by Riz Ortolani — Lyrics
Dolc'è sentire come, nel mio cuore,
ora, umilmente, sta nascendo amore;
dolc'è capire che non so più solo,
ma che son parte d’una immensa vita
che, generosa, risplende intorno a me,
dono di Lui, del suo immenso amor.

About Fratello sole, sorella luna
This setting of Italian lyrics expresses profound gratitude for the wonders of creation and the dawning of love within the heart. The text paints a vivid picture, from the quiet birth of affection to the grand gifts of sun, moon, earth, and the elements. Riz Ortolani's setting for SATB choir captures the devotional and expansive spirit of the words, embracing themes of interconnectedness and divine love. It is a beautiful example of secular part-music, suitable for choirs seeking repertoire that is both lyrically rich and emotionally resonant, exploring the simple yet powerful realization of being part of a greater, life-giving whole.
