Dunque Aminta mio caro by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
Filli cara et amata,
Dimmi per cortesia:
Questa tua bella bocca non è mia?
Ahi, ahi non rispond'ingrata,
E col silentio nieghi,
D'ascoltar i miei prieghi.
Piacciati almen se taci
D'usar invece di risposta i baci.
Dunque Aminta mio caro,

About Dunque Aminta mio caro
Imagine a gathering of friends in a Renaissance garden, the air filled with the scent of blossoms. Ruggiero Giovannelli’s Dunque Aminta mio caro would have been the perfect musical interlude for such an occasion. This delightful Italian madrigal for SSATB voices explores the playful dialogue between lovers, with the singer questioning whether a kiss can truly signify possession of the beloved's lips, or if true ownership lies deeper within the heart. Giovannelli’s music skillfully captures the witty text’s charm, making it an engaging choice for choirs seeking to explore the rich tradition of secular Renaissance part-music. The intricate vocal lines and expressive harmonies offer a rewarding experience for both performers and listeners alike.
