Di piant' in pianto by Girolamo Scotto — Lyrics
Di piant' in pianto, et d'una in altra doglia
mi guid'amore, e'l destino aspro e fero
ond' io cerco sovente col pensiero
ne pero trovo chi da lui mi suoglia.

About Di piant' in pianto
Imagine a scene of melancholic reflection, perhaps during a quiet evening gathering, where this Italian secular madrigal would find a perfect home. Girolamo Scotto’s Di piant' in pianto sets a text that speaks of a heart guided by love and harsh fate, leading to a constant state of sorrow. The singer seeks solace but finds none, as love itself seems to conspire against him, bringing anguish. This TTB setting captures the emotional weight of the lyrics, offering directors a rich opportunity to explore expressive vocal colours and the poignant narrative of unrequited or difficult love characteristic of Renaissance part-music.
