“Hor che la vaga aurora” (“Now with the Dawn the Sun Wakes”), the first madrigal in Ghirlanda de Madrigali a 4 voci, was written by Vittoria Aleotti for SATB voices. This beautiful new edition includes a masterful translation from editor Dr. Elizabeth Fisher as well as IPA for the Italian language.

“Hor che la vaga aurora”
Oh, how the beautiful dawn
driving a chariot of fire
appears in every location
with the son of Latona
how her golden hair
to the Alps and the countryside to our vicinity shows
with sweet accents
like the well-tempered lyre
that the spirits
wandering intently
hear the harmony
that invites our souls to heaven
