Il cuore è pieno di farfalle d'oro

This charming Italian secular piece for SATB choir captures a moment of pure, uninhibited joy. The composer evokes a heart overflowing with golden butterflies, a metaphor for feelings that flutter and sparkle within. A delightful soundscape is painted with the ringing of a hundred tiny bells and a playful, almost childlike scattering of thoughts. The text expresses a weariness of the mundane, a deep yearning to sing out freely, embracing all emotions – jumping, laughing, crying – in an effervescent expression of love.
