About Adolescentulae dilexerunt

Giovanni Ghizzolo composed this motet for three female voices (SSB). The text is a devotional Latin prayer, opening with the words Adolescentulae dilexerunt te nimis, and expresses a profound longing for divine love. The singer pleads, 'Draw me after you. I will live for you, I will love you, do not despise me.' The words convey a deeply personal and fervent surrender, culminating in the desire for the heart to be pierced by divine love and the soul to declare, 'I am wounded by your love.' The motet is a sacred work from the early Baroque period, a time of rich polyphonic tradition and expressive sacred music in Italy.
