Amor se quei begli occhi by Perissone Cambio — Lyrics
Amor se quei begli occhi
Mi son come l'altrier sempre cortesi
Benedetto sia il di ch'a te mi resi.
Io mi sentia morire tra foco e gelo
Et madonna s'accorse

About Amor se quei begli occhi
Perissone Cambio's madrigal Amor se quei begli occhi is a secular work for SATTB voices. The text, in Italian, expresses the lover's passionate suffering, his fear of death between fire and ice, and his lady's compassionate response. She sees his languishing and offers a sweet gaze, a glance that penetrates his heart, reviving him with the fire of her eyes and true pity for his pain. Cambio sets this intense emotional journey with the rich SATTB texture characteristic of the Italian Renaissance madrigal tradition, creating a vivid musical depiction of the text's unfolding drama.
