8.01. Cieli, stelle, deitadi,
or chi distempra in colori l'aurora,
onde di donna,
che cieli stelle e deità pareggia,
le glorie, il bello e i nobili sembianti
con canoro pennello,
con pennelli di penne io pinga e canti.
Vago crine,
che ruine
porti all'alme,
che più stami
di legami
ordisc'ai cori,
sia poco al paragon de' suoi tesori.
Occhi vaghi,
mai non paghi

Welcome to Cor Donato Editions

Why "Cor Donato Editions?"
One of Barbara Strozzi's lovely Opus 3 works is Cor Donato, cor rubato ... a heart given and a heart stolen.
I love the gesture of a heart and love given freely.
What is the logo?
The central heart is surrounded by the Strozzi family crest of three crescentsLa Venexianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083678478844417585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397044.post-33976364622934401682011-01-26T12:55:00.000-07:002019-04-14T11:28:09.120-06:00WORKS WITHOUT OPUS NUMBER

Sia felice del canto e degl'amori,

Non disunisca mai voglia rubella.

BEGINNINGS
Barbara Strozzi had the good fortune to be born into a world of creativity, intellectual ferment, and artistic freedom. She made a mark as composer and singer, eventually publishing eight collections of songs - more music in print during her lifetime than even the most famous composers of her day - without the support of the Church or the patronage of a noble house. She is La Venexianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02083678478844417585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397044.post-13741386940842199182008-06-05T22:48:00.001-06:002018-12-13T16:37:28.194-07:00INDEX -- Alphabetical by Title & First Line(see also Index by Instrumentation)
