Donna di dentro di tua casa by Heinrich Isaac — Lyrics
Donna di dentro della tua casa
Domme ne un pocho di quella maza chroca
Fortuna d’un gran tempo mise stata
Son rose gigli et fiori
Dammene un pocho di maza chroca
Ne sente ghusto alcuno

About Donna di dentro di tua casa
This secular Italian madrigal by Heinrich Isaac paints a lively scene, with the singer pleading to be given just a little of a spicy mace. The text expresses a playful desire for this seasoning, asking for a small amount, but not too much. The composer sets this charming request for four voices in ATTB, creating a rich yet intimate texture. Isaac, a master of Renaissance part-music, brings a refined musical sensibility to this domestic vignette, making it a delightful choice for a choir looking for engaging Renaissance repertoire.
