Amor tu'l senti, ond'io teco mi doglio by Alessandro Savioli — Lyrics
Amor tu'l senti, ond'io teco mi doglio,
Quant'è'l danno aspro e grave;
E so che del mio mal ti pesa e dole,
Anzi del nostro; perch'ad uno scoglio
Avem rotto la nave,
Ed in un punto n'è scurato il sole.
Qual ingegno a parole

About Amor tu'l senti, ond'io teco mi doglio
Alessandro Savioli's Amor tu'l senti, ond'io teco mi doglio is a secular madrigal for SATTB voices. The text, drawn from Petrarch's Il Canzoniere, speaks of shared suffering and loss, likening the lovers' plight to a shipwreck where their guiding light has been extinguished. The composer captures the emotional weight of the words, with the five vocal parts weaving together to express a profound sense of sorrow and regret. This piece exemplifies the Italian madrigal tradition, where intricate vocal polyphony is employed to give voice to complex poetic sentiments, making it a powerful expression of Renaissance secular music.
