Ahi me lasso che deggio by Domenico Micheli — Lyrics
Ahi me lasso che deggio ahi me dolente,
Che poss' io far che voglio ahi me infelice,
Pianger mai sempre o pur quel che non lice,
Chieder a lei che'l mio gran mal non sente,

About Ahi me lasso che deggio
Domenico Micheli's Ahi me lasso che deggio is a rich example of the Italian secular madrigal, suitable for a discerning choir. Composed for SATTB voices, this piece explores themes of intense personal suffering and unrequited love, as conveyed by the poignant Italian text. The composer crafts a musical setting that reflects the deep emotional turmoil of the lyrics, with moments of anguish and despair. This madrigal offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for choirs seeking to perform sophisticated Renaissance part-music that captures the human condition with dramatic intensity. Its intricate vocal lines and expressive harmonies make it a compelling choice for concert programming.
