About Ardo sì, ma non t'amo

This secular Italian madrigal for SSATB voices sets a text by Guarini that expresses a complex emotional state. The singer declares that they burn, yet do not love their perfidious and heartless beloved. They are indignantly loved by a loyal admirer, and vow that their torment will not be boasted of. The heart is now healed, and any burning felt is one of disdain, not love. Lelio Bertani's setting is typical of the rich polyphonic tradition of the Italian Renaissance madrigal, where intricate vocal writing serves to heighten the dramatic and emotional content of the text.
