Da poi ch’io vidi la tua gran bellezza
Subito corsi e ci donai sto core
Trattalo ben ò core del mio core.

About Da poi ch'io vidi
Cornelio Antonelli’s Da poi ch’io vidi is a secular Italian madrigal for three male voices (TTB). It was composed for a courtly occasion, perhaps a celebration or an entertainment. The text speaks of love at first sight and the devotion of the singer to his beloved. He pledges his heart to her and implores her to treat it well, as her beauty and courtesy surpass all others in their age. The music would have been intended to reflect the sentiments of the words, a characteristic feature of the madrigal genre. This setting offers a rewarding challenge for choirs looking to explore Renaissance part-music with a passionate text.
