Donne mie care chi non sa ch'Amore by Lodovico Agostini — Lyrics
Donne mie care chi non sa ch'Amore,
Per ampia vena vi trabocchi amaro,
Riguardi'l suon sol de la voce Amore,
Che'n sua ragion non tien altro ch'amaro,

About Donne mie care chi non sa ch'Amore
Lodovico Agostini's Donne mie care chi non sa ch'Amore is a secular Italian madrigal for SATB choir. The text expresses a bitter reflection on love, suggesting that for those who serve it wholeheartedly, love only brings bitterness, even if it offers fleeting moments of sweetness. Agostini crafts a musical setting that likely mirrors the poignant and perhaps melancholic sentiment of the words. This piece offers a rich opportunity for expressive vocal performance, exploring the complex emotions inherent in the Renaissance madrigal tradition. Its SATB voicing allows for full, resonant harmonies and intricate contrapuntal interplay.
