Chi brama in Amore by Barbara Strozzi — Lyrics
Chi brama in Amore far paghi desiri,
nel centro del core non chiuda i martiri.
con note sonore, con voci che strida,
all' empia homicida sue pene distingua.
Pieta non manca ad' Amator ch'hà lingua.

About Chi brama in Amore
A vibrant Italian secular song from the Baroque era, Chi brama in Amore is a solo soprano setting of expressive poetry. Barbara Strozzi’s music captures the text's plea to openly express one’s sufferings in love, rather than to conceal them. The lyrics urge the singer to make their pain known through sound, lest love remain deaf to their silent anguish. This piece is ideal for occasions demanding a direct and passionate vocal statement, exploring the complexities of unrequited or difficult love with dramatic flair. It would suit a recital or concert setting where a single, powerful voice can convey the raw emotion of the text.
