Chi vuol veder by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
Chi vuol veder
tutta raccolt’ insieme
quanta fu mai bellezz’ e leggiadra
miri la donna mia.
Vedra i biondi capei
avanzar di vagghezz’ il piu fin’ oro
d’avorio il fronte spatioso e schietto
et quell’onde vorrei spesso morir
tantôt n’havrei diletto
bocca di bei rubin ch’asconder suole
quelle perle d’amor ricco thesoro
sentira quelle dolcialte parole

About Chi vuol veder
Marco Antonio Ingegneri’s Chi vuol veder is a delightful four-part madrigal for SAAT voices, sung in Italian. The composer captures a vibrant and detailed portrait of the beloved, painting a picture of her beauty from her golden hair and ivory forehead to her ruby lips. The text expresses the singer's deep admiration, praising the beloved's every feature and her sweet words. The music itself mirrors this detailed observation, with the voices weaving together to create a rich texture. This secular Italian part-song from the Renaissance era offers a charming lyrical expression of devotion.
