Deh dimi pria signor che le faville by Francesco Soriano — Lyrics
Deh dimi pria signor che le faville,
Ch'io veggio à mille à mille.
Uscir da pietra gloriosa e bella,
Accendin piu quest'alto desir mio
Se fuggir le debb'io? e se da quella,

About Deh dimi pria signor che le faville
Francesco Soriano was a significant composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Deh dimi pria signor che le faville is a secular madrigal for SSATB voices, written in Italian. The text expresses a passionate plea, questioning the origin and intention of fiery sparks emanating from a glorious stone. The poet wonders if these sparks ignite a deeper desire within them, and if they are meant to escape a cruel and disloyal master. The lyrics convey a sense of intense longing and a desire for transformation, even to the point of incineration, driven by this powerful allure.
