Gli occhi lucenti by Maddalena Casulana — Lyrics
Gli occhi lucent' e belli,
e rano l'esc' e gli ami,
onde pesci morian liet' e contenti,
correan leggiadr'e snelli
I dei del fium' intenti,

About Gli occhi lucenti
Maddalena Casulana's Gli occhi lucenti paints a vivid scene of love and enchantment. The Italian lyrics speak of bright, beautiful eyes that act as both bait and hook, ensnaring unsuspecting hearts. The gods of the river are drawn by the harmonious singing echoing through green branches, so enchanted that Thetis herself emerges from the water. This secular Italian madrigal for SAAT voices captures a moment of captivating beauty, celebrating the power of love's allure with Casulana's characteristic Renaissance part-music style.
