This is my experimental version of an ancient mystical italian song from the "Laudario di Cortona" (Tuscany, 13th century).
This piece is meant to be calming and healing. I use some ASMR elements to give you a feeling of comforting closeness.
It tells about the "Altissima Luce", the highest light, the mother of all mothers. The one who consoles us and guides us through the darkness. Maria, Madonna, Ishtar or Mother Earth or maybe just the sun, the life, the nature, however you call her, she's always been there and she always will be.
lyrics
Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolce amore, agiam consolanza.
Ave, regina, pulzella amorosa,
stella marina che non stai nascosta,
luce divina, virtù graziosa,
bellezza formosa: de Dio se´ semblanza!
Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolce amore, agiam consolanza.
Templo sacrato, ornato vasello
annunziato da san Gabriello,
Cristo è 'ncarnato nel tuo ventre bello,
frutto novello cum gran delettanza.
Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolce amore, agiam consolanza.
Fresca rivera ornata di fiori,
tu se´ la spera di tutti i colori:
guida la schiera di noi peccatori,
sì ch´asavori de tua beninanza.
Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolce amore, agiam consolanza.
Donna piacente che sì foste umana,
fonte surgente sovr´ ogne fontana,
istìevi a mente la gente cristiana,
che non sia vana la nostra speranza.
Altissima luce col grande splendore,
in voi, dolce amore, agiam consolanza.
