Chiedendo un bacio alla mia cara Aminta by Marco Antonio de Pordenon — Lyrics
Chiedendo un bacio alla mia cara Aminta,
Sospirando ne stè gran pezzo in forse;
Poi d'honesto rossor la faccia tinta,
La dolce bocca per basciarmi porse.
A l'hor dal gran piacer l'anima vinta
Lasciando il petto, in ver la lingua corse;
Nè qui fermossi; ma di novo spinta,
Da le mie labbra à le sue labbra scorse.

About Chiedendo un bacio alla mia cara Aminta
This SATTB madrigal, set in Italian, captures a moment of tender longing. The text describes the singer asking his beloved Aminta for a kiss. After a moment of hesitant blushing, she grants his request, leading to a passionate exchange that leaves the singer breathless and captivated. The poetry explores the overwhelming power of love and desire, asking for guidance from Cupid himself. It is a delightful example of secular Renaissance part-music, perfect for a chamber choir looking to explore the expressive possibilities of the madrigal genre.
