Che fa più meco il pianto? by Francesco Eredi — Lyrics
Che fa più meco il pianto? altr'arme, altr'arte
Io non ho dunque ? ahi seguirò pur l'empio:
Nè l'abisso per lui riposta parte,
Nè il ciel sarà per lui sicuro tempio.
Già'l giungo, e'1 prendo, e'1 cor gli svello, e sparte

About Che fa più meco il pianto?
Francesco Eredi's Che fa più meco il pianto? is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices. The music opens with a sense of urgent questioning, quickly developing into a vivid depiction of emotional turmoil. The text, drawn from Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata, expresses a profound despair and a sense of being overwhelmed by a cruel fate. The composer uses the five voices to explore these intense feelings, with moments of dissonance and dramatic contrast reflecting the text's themes of suffering and defiance. This is a work that demands committed vocal delivery, offering a powerful emotional experience for both performers and listeners.
