Gli augelletti diversi by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
About Gli augelletti diversi
Imagine a sun-dappled grove where birdsong fills the air. Marco Antonio Ingegneri’s Gli augelletti diversi captures this idyllic scene with rich, five-part harmonies for SSATB voices. This Italian secular madrigal evokes the gentle sounds of nature, with birds singing sweet verses to welcome the nymph Licori among myrtles and laurels. The text praises Licori herself, suggesting her own voice is sweeter than the birds' and that those who learn from her, and the very woods and hills that echo her songs, are made fortunate. It’s a delightful piece, perfect for conjuring a pastoral atmosphere and showcasing the expressive capabilities of a skilled choir.
