Amor, io sento l'alma by Philippe Verdelot — Lyrics
Amor io sento l'alma
Tornar' nel foco ov'io
Fu liet'et più che mai d'arder desio,
et più che mai d'arder desio.
S'tu mi reacend'il core,
Et io ne son contenta
Et ritorn'humilment'al giogh'antico

About Amor, io sento l'alma
This Italian madrigal by Philippe Verdelot paints a vivid scene of rekindled desire. The text expresses the soul returning to the flames of passion, a renewed longing to burn with intensity. The singer, content to have their heart re-ignited, humbly returns to an old joy, suggesting a surrender to this powerful emotion. The music is conceived for both STTB and SATB choirs, allowing for flexibility in programming. As secular part-music of the Renaissance, it offers a delightful exploration of human sentiment through intricate vocal lines.
