Com'è soave cosa by Giovanni Piccioni — Lyrics

About Com'è soave cosa
This elegant Italian madrigal by Giovanni Piccioni is written for a discerning SSATB choir. It sets a text that luxuriates in the pleasures of reciprocal love, where the beloved freely offers herself and all her beauty to her admirer. The words speak of deep mutual affection, with the singer expressing the joy of possessing as much as they love, and receiving as much as they desire. The music likely reflects the sensuous and intimate nature of the lyrics, making it a fitting choice for concerts focusing on Renaissance secular part-music or programmes exploring the theme of romantic devotion.
