Date la strada by Cornelio Antonelli — Lyrics
Date la strada o voi che così armati
Venite ad assaltar st’afflitto core
Lasciatemi passar non più dolore.

About Date la strada
This secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices by Cornelio Antonelli opens with a plea for the singer's heart to be left undisturbed. The speaker addresses armed figures, urging them to pass by and cause no further pain. If they come seeking his heart, he tells them to leave, as it has already been promised to another and is no longer his to give. The music would be suitable for a Renaissance-themed programme, conjuring an atmosphere of dramatic, passionate expression through its intricate vocal lines and expressive harmonies.
