Care amorose gradite rose by Gemignano Capilupi — Lyrics
Care amorose,
gradite rose,
se Primavera sete,
perche verno porgete.
Care viole
al mondo sole,
se primavera sete,
perche, verno porgete.

About Care amorose gradite rose
Gemignano Capilupi’s Care amorose gradite rose is a delightful example of the Italian canzonetta genre, scored for three sopranos. The composer crafts an intimate and tender mood through the close interplay of the voices, creating a rich harmonic texture. The text, set in Italian, speaks of beloved roses, violets, and blooming flowers, lamenting their apparent coldness. The singer pleads with these cherished blooms to transform from a wintry state into summer, so that autumn might follow, suggesting a cycle of nature and enduring beauty. This piece offers a charming opportunity for a sensitive interpretation of Renaissance part-music.
