Chi ama, vive in core,
De l'amato, e si pasce del suo amore,
Mentre la fede, che d'Amor è scorta
Fida novella porta,

About Chi ama vive in core
Francesco Manara’s Chi ama vive in core is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB choir. The music opens with a close-knit texture, suggesting the unity of those who love. The composer crafts imitative passages and homophonic sections to portray the text’s exploration of love and faith. The lyrics speak of how one who loves lives within the heart of their beloved, nourished by that love, and how faith acts as a messenger, carrying concord between hearts. The piece highlights the inseparable bond between love and faith, asserting that love cannot be sustained without it. Manara’s setting effectively captures the delicate interplay of emotions inherent in the text.
