About Ardo, sì, ma non t'amo

The Italian text of this madrigal expresses a lover’s rejection of an unfeeling beloved. Though aflame, the singer insists they do not love this perfidious creature, who is unworthy of such loyal devotion. The singer will no longer boast of their sorrow, for their heart is healed. If they burn now, it is with disdain, not with love. This secular work for SSATB voices showcases the Renaissance madrigal tradition of setting poetic texts with musical intensity and expressive word-painting.
