Amor io sent/'un

This charming Italian madrigal for four voices (STTB) captures a moment of tender reflection, painting a scene of idyllic beauty. The poet describes the sweet breath of his beloved Laura on a sunlit shore, a vision so lovely that an ancient flame is rekindled in his heart. The music reflects the exquisite sweetness of the text, with textures that ebb and flow, mirroring the poet's surrender to love. A fine example of secular Renaissance part-music, it offers a delightful challenge for an accomplished choir seeking to explore the expressive possibilities of the madrigal form.
