Gioia d'essere nata

This joyful Italian SATB setting by Carlotta Ferrari celebrates the simple pleasure of being born into a sunny morning, surrounded by violets. The text speaks of forgetting the darkness and the chill of night, embracing instead the warmth and beauty of a new day. Ferrari's music likely reflects this sense of light and optimistic awakening. It is a perfect choice for a secular concert programme, offering a moment of pure, unadulterated delight and a fresh perspective on the natural world. The composer's sensitive setting enhances the poem's lyrical beauty, making it an uplifting experience for both singers and audience.
