Di furto ancor by Giandominico Martoretta — Lyrics
Di furto ancor, oltre ogni vizio rio,
di te, crudel, ho da dolermi molto.
Che tu mi tenga il cor, non ti dico io;

About Di furto ancor
Giandominico Martoretta's Di furto ancor is a secular madrigal for SATB choir, set in Italian. The music immediately establishes a dramatic and passionate mood, with the four voices engaging in intricate contrapuntal interplay. The text speaks of theft and betrayal, lamenting the loss of a beloved who has been taken away unfairly. The composer uses the vocal lines to express the emotional turmoil and rhetorical intensity of the words, creating a vivid portrayal of heartbreak and accusation. The piece demands sensitive musicianship and a clear projection of the text's inherent drama.
