Anima del cor mio by Benedetto Pallavicino — Lyrics
Anima del cor mio,
Poi che da me misera me tu parti,
S'ami conforto alcuno à miei martiri,
Non isdegnar ch'almen ti segua anch' io,

About Anima del cor mio
A poignant madrigal for SSATB voices, Anima del cor mio by Benedetto Pallavicino captures the profound sorrow of separation. The text speaks of a soul departing, leaving the singer in despair, begging to follow even if only in sighs and remembrance. The composer crafts a rich, polyphonic setting that vividly portrays the pain of unrequited love and the speaker's determination to remain an example of faithful love despite their suffering. This secular Italian work, from the Renaissance, is ideal for a concert programme where expressive, text-driven choral music is desired.
