Amor è gratiosa e dolce voglia by Iacopo Corfini — Lyrics
Amor è grazïosa e dolce voglia,
che i piú selvaggi e piú feroci affrena;
Amor d’ogni viltà l’anime spoglia,
E le scorge a diletto e trae di pena;

About Amor è gratiosa e dolce voglia
Iacopo Corfini's Amor è gratiosa e dolce voglia is a secular madrigal for SSATTB voices. The text praises the power of love, describing it as a gentle and sweet desire that tames the wildest hearts, strips souls of cowardice, and leads them from suffering to delight. Love is shown to inspire humble souls to reach great heights and to transform the brief and dim into the eternal and serene. It is presented as the fertile seed of all good things, the force that shapes, governs, and serves the world, embodying a profound Neoplatonic ideal.
