Dialogo d'amante by Giovanni Ghizzolo — Lyrics
Text in italics is for the female character
Donna ch'in voi d'amor le faci'ha spente? Chi morto'hal mio gioite? Chi scosso'ha de bei ragg'il sol lucente?
Il tuo sfrenato'ardire ogni diletto sgombra res'ha la fiamma'un giel la luce'un ombra.
Lasso, che far poss'io s'Amor sferza'il desio? Dura lege d'amor che'l mondo sforza.

About Dialogo d'amante
A dialogue for a single soprano and tenor voice, Giovanni Ghizzolo's Dialogo d'amante is a secular madrigal for two voices from the Italian Renaissance. The text portrays a passionate exchange between two lovers, exploring themes of love's power and its effect on reason and emotion. The music would suit a scene of dramatic dialogue, perhaps at a courtly entertainment or a private gathering. The composer sets the Italian text with expressive melodic lines, reflecting the ardent sentiments of the lovers as they navigate their desires and the conflicting forces of love and reason.
