Dasz ihr mein Hertz besitzet by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Dasz ihr mein Hertz besitzet,
liebliche Seele,
solches ihr gar herhitzet,
und macht mein Geblüt schwele.
Dadurch an krafft uns stercke,
ich sehr abneme,
Täglich ich es wol mercke,
umb euch ich mich so greine.

About Dasz ihr mein Hertz besitzet
Antonio Brunelli's secular German madrigal Dasz ihr mein Hertz besitzet is set for a treble duet (SSB). The text expresses a lover's intense and overwhelming passion, which consumes them to the point of physical weakness and despair. The lyrics describe how the beloved's possession of the singer's heart causes their blood to heat up and their strength to wane, making them feel as though their limbs are about to fall apart. The singer pleads for the beloved's help, fearing that without it, they will perish. The music would have originally been intended for intimate performance within aristocratic circles.
