Ha Laura il crin dorato by Giulio Belli — Lyrics
Ha Laura il crin dorato,
E son le guancie sue ligustri e rose,
Ove assiso ripose
Il regno Amore,
Sacrat'a Laura il core,
O com'e i ben si mira,

About Ha Laura il crin dorato
Giulio Belli's Ha Laura il crin dorato is a rich Italian secular madrigal for SSATB voices. The text paints an idyllic scene, praising Laura's golden hair and rosy cheeks, and describing the blissful state of a heart inflamed by her beauty. The composer uses the madrigal form to explore the sensuous imagery of the poem, with the five voices weaving together to create a complex and expressive musical setting. This piece is ideal for choirs looking to explore the intricate contrapuntal style and expressive vocal writing characteristic of the Italian Renaissance madrigal, offering a delightful challenge and reward for both performers and listeners.
