Che m’intravenne già tra quattro dì
Ch’io dicea no no e lei sì sì.

About Duca vi voglio dir
Giacomo Gorzanis's Duca vi voglio dir is a secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices. The text paints a lively scene of a suitor being urged by his beloved to give in to his desires. Despite his initial reluctance, expressed by repeating 'no, no', she insists with 'yes, yes', until he eventually relents. The music would likely reflect this playful and persuasive dialogue, with close harmonies and a driving rhythm typical of the genre. This is a spirited example of Renaissance part-music, offering a charming narrative for a male-voice choir.
