Il piè vago movea by Horatio Colombano — Lyrics
Il piè vago movea
Vezzosa pastorella,
Ch'in un sol giro mille cor prendea,
Quando empia invidia,e fella
Insidiosa corse,
E'l piè sottrasse,e impallidi il sembiante.

About Il piè vago movea
Colombano sets a text by Giuliano Gosellini which tells of a charming shepherdess whose graceful movement captivated all hearts. However, her fortune is cruelly changed when she falls, her face paling. Yet, Iris, the daughter of Thaumas, swiftly restores her complexion with a rosy hue, enhancing her beauty and igniting a new ardour in her admirers. This secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices explores the fleeting nature of fortune and the enduring power of beauty.
