In nobil sangue/ Amor s’è in lei by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
In nobil sangue vita humile et queta
et in alto intellecto un puro core,
frutto senile in sul giovenil fiore
e ’n aspetto pensoso anima lieta
raccolto à ’n questa donna il suo pianeta,
anzi ’l re de le stelle; e ’l vero honore,
le degne lode, e ’l gran pregio, e ’l valore,
ch’è da stanchar ogni divin poeta.

About In nobil sangue/ Amor s’è in lei
Andrea Gabrieli crafts a rich and varied texture in this secular Italian madrigal for SAATTB. The music opens with a focus on the interplay between voices, creating a sonorous and complex sound world. The text speaks of a noble spirit within a humble life, a pure heart and a happy soul in a pensive guise, all gathered in this lady. It praises her natural beauty, her virtuous character, and her inherent grace, suggesting a profound inner and outer perfection. The poem continues to explore the lady's captivating presence, able to transform perception and command attention through her every gesture, even silence. Gabrieli’s setting captures the sophisticated emotional landscape and intellectual appreciation expressed in the verses.
