Introducing Raffaella Aleotti
Marian Consort
Ego flos campi
by Raffaella Aleotti
Born in Ferrara c.1570; died there c.1646.
Ego flos campi, et lilium convallium.
Sicut lilium inter spinas, sic amica mea inter filias.
Sicut malus inter ligna silvarum, sic dilectus meus inter filios.
I am the flower of the field, the lily of the valley.
Like a lily among thorns, so is my beloved among daughters.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among sons.
The ACC will sing this beautiful motet in its Australian premiere as part of our Renaissance Requiem program (July 26 to November 8) Read more
