Vezzosi Augelli by Giaches de Wert
​
Today's Madrigal, Giaches de Wert's 'Vezzosi augelli'. Its text, from Torquato Tasso's epic poem 'Gerusalemme Liberata' describes birds singing and soaring on the breeze through Armida's
 enchanted garden. Wert's setting is absolutely delightful, building in successive waves to the final, prolonged
evocation of the alternating music of birds and breeze. ​The piece captures in musical language a kind of breathtaking emotional reaction which we often have when confronted with an overwhelming
​instance of nature's beauty.
