Correte amanti by Salamone Rossi — Lyrics
Correte Amanti
A miei sospiri e pianti,
Ch’ormai questo mio core
Da mill’ affanni sconsolato muore.
Ben pazzo fui
A seguitar colui,
Che con sì fieri sguardi
Mi punse; e fur della mia donna i sguardi.

About Correte amanti
Correte amanti paints a scene of lover’s despair, with the heart dying from a thousand torments, driven to death by unrequited love. The text expresses a profound sense of betrayal and suffering, lamenting the cruelty of the beloved who has stolen the heart only to leave the singer desolate. This Italian madrigal for two sopranos and bass voice, by Salamone Rossi, captures the Renaissance spirit of secular part-music, exploring themes of love’s pain and injustice with dramatic intensity. The interplay between the voices conveys the anguish and lament of the text, making for a poignant and expressive musical setting.
