Al fin del mar d'amore by Benedetto Ferrari — Lyrics
Al fin del mar d'amore scors'i flutti voraci io giungo in porto,
cosi va, chi è cosin te è ben accorto,
O che caro languir alla sua donna in sen
o che dolce morir provar la morte e mai venir men.
Non vibra piu'l mio cielo lampi di crudeltà,
folgori d'ire cosi và,
chi sa fare e chi fà dire,

About Al fin del mar d'amore
Benedetto Ferrari's Al fin del mar d'amore is a secular Italian madrigal for solo tenor. The text, a poem of love and devotion, describes the joy and peace found at the end of a turbulent emotional journey, likening the lover's ultimate contentment to reaching a safe harbour after a storm. The music likely reflects these shifting moods, from potential past hardship to present bliss. This piece would suit a programme exploring themes of love, fulfillment, and the powerful emotions often conveyed through Renaissance vocal music, offering a rich solo opportunity for a tenor voice.
