Disusata pieta by Girolamo Scotto — Lyrics
Disusata pieta ne vaghi lumi
parmi veder alla nemica mia
e l'antichi cangiar amor constumi,
e mia sorte provar non cosi ria,
parla un pensier non piu da gli occhi fiumi,

About Disusata pieta
Girolamo Scotto's Disusata pieta is a secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices. The music unfolds with a delicate interplay between the male voices, creating a rich texture that reflects the poetic text. The lyrics speak of a lost tenderness and the changing customs of love, where the speaker seems to see a beloved enemy. A thoughtful internal voice emerges, reflecting on a heart revealed in a mirror, seeing sorrow but finding love. This piece offers a poignant exploration of emotional states, woven into the intricate fabric of Renaissance polyphony.
