Deh qual pietà by Girolamo Scotto — Lyrics
Deh qual pietà, qual angel fu si presto,
a portar sopra il cielo il mio cordoglio?
Ch'anchor sento tornar pur, come soglio,

About Deh qual pietà
Girolamo Scotto's Deh qual pietà is a secular Italian madrigal for three male voices (TTB). The text, an expressive poem, speaks of a profound sorrow contrasted with the sweet and honest comfort offered by a beloved lady. The music likely reflects this emotional landscape, with the vocal lines intertwining to depict the singer's conflicting feelings of pain and solace, suggesting a mood of contemplative beauty suitable for an intimate gathering or a moment of reflection.
