Dicesti anima mia by Vittoria Aleotti — Lyrics
Dicesti, anima mia, che ardi per me d’amore
sol con le labra ò col profondo core?
Ah, non sia mai ch’io il creda
fin che de l’amor tuo segno non veda.

About Dicesti anima mia
Vittoria Aleotti's Dicesti, anima mia is a secular Italian madrigal for SATB choir. The text explores themes of love and sincerity, questioning whether affection is expressed through words alone or from the heart. The speaker asks for tangible proof of love, suggesting that kisses and oaths should serve as true witnesses to fidelity. Aleotti crafts a rich, polyphonic setting that musically conveys the dramatic tension and emotional depth of the text, making it an engaging choice for choirs looking to explore the Renaissance madrigal tradition.
