About Amor se giusto sei

Luca Marenzio's Amor se giusto sei is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB choir. The music opens with energetic imitation, quickly establishing a polyphonic texture where the five voice parts engage in intricate interplay. The text expresses the singer's plea to Love itself, asking that his beloved be as just as Love is. He laments that his devotion is met with scorn, and begs Love not to let his faithfulness be repaid with disdain. He insists that Love, being just, should ensure that love is rewarded with love.
