Zuppa, Fichi, Bostregno; A Madrigal on Getting Older
Delight your singers and audiences with Zuppa, Fichi, Bolstregno, a comedic modern madrigal that laments the woes of aging—one meal at a time!
Set to the humorous poetry of 17th-century Italian poet Francesca Turina, this lively piece playfully bemoans a diet of soup and sweets, as the singer longs for the hearty satisfaction of meat before wasting away.
Filled with clever word painting, spirited rhythms, and a touch of dramatic groans (literally), this piece is a joy to perform and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
