Beato mi direi by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Beato mi direi,
se mi mostrasse vostr'alma mercede
Quel di che fan vostre parole fede.
Ma son homai si stanco
De l'aspettar cio che'l mio cor desia,

About Beato mi direi
On a day of celebration or solemnity, this Italian madrigal for SATB voices by Cipriano de Rore would offer a moment of profound reflection. The text speaks of a longing for reciprocal affection, expressing weariness with unfulfilled desire. The speaker pleads with hope to console their afflicted spirit before their years run out. Rore masterfully captures the emotional weight of these words through intricate polyphony and expressive harmonic language, characteristic of the secular Renaissance part-music for which he was renowned.
