Chi mi consola by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
La notte quando penso di dormire
Son risvegliato e sento mi scoprire.
E poi sento una voce tanta chiara,
E par che parla e dica dolcemente:
Amante mio, non ti turbar la mente.

About Chi mi consola
Hans Leo Hassler's Chi mi consola is a secular canzonetta for SATB voices in Italian. The text describes a lover's dream, where a beloved figure appears, speaks sweetly to soothe their worries, and promises to satisfy desires. The apparition then fades, leaving the lover to reflect on the torment of love. Hassler captures the narrative's emotional arc through his setting, weaving together the voices to express both longing and fleeting comfort. This work exemplifies the engaging style of Renaissance Italian secular part-music, offering a rich texture for a skilled choir.
