Che poi tu farmi by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
About Che poi tu farmi
The text expresses the singer's fear of Love, fearing that without his heart within him, Love will strike his soul with a mortal wound. This is a secular Italian madrigal for SSATB voices. Ruggiero Giovannelli was a composer of the late Renaissance, a period known for its sophisticated secular part-music. The setting captures the dramatic intensity of the text, with the interwoven vocal lines reflecting the emotional turmoil of the narrator's plea.
