Hor su la nuda by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Sixth stanza:
Hor su la nuda terra hora su l'herbe,
di pensier in pensier di voce in voce,
al freddo al caldo alla pioggia et al sole,
cerco pe'l mond'havea riposo e stato
quando raggio del ciel mi giuns'al foco,

About Hor su la nuda
Orlando di Lasso's Hor su la nuda is a secular madrigal for SATT choir. The text expresses a search for solace amidst changing circumstances, moving from harsh realities to a hopeful arrival. The composer captures the text's emotional journey, contrasting moments of unrest with the anticipation of finding peace and light. This piece is well-suited for choirs looking to explore the rich expressive possibilities of Renaissance Italian polyphony. Its intimate voicing makes it ideal for smaller ensembles or for a choir seeking to present a thoughtful and evocative program.
