Chi t'ama e chi t'adora by Marc'Antonio Mazzone — Lyrics
Chi t'ama e chi t'adora
Non è raggion che mora.
Ne chi ti vole bene.
Che per ti stia in guai affanni e pene.
E se st'alma t'adora
Non è raggion che mora
E se poi t'è fedele
Non ti mostrar ogn' hor tanto crudele.

About Chi t'ama e chi t'adora
Marc'Antonio Mazzone's Chi t'ama e chi t'adora is a secular Italian madrigal for three voices (soprano, alto, tenor). The text speaks passionately of the suffering of a lover, begging for a response from their beloved. It describes how someone who loves and adores you, and remains faithful through all troubles, should not be met with cruelty. The singer implores their beloved to offer comfort before it is too late, to prevent them from dying of sorrow. This piece would suit a consort of voices wanting to explore the expressive depths of Renaissance part-music, lamenting unrequited love with heartfelt intensity.
