Dunque fia vero - Dunque il consenti Amor by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
About Dunque fia vero - Dunque il consenti Amor
Andrea Gabrieli's Dunque fia vero - Dunque il consenti Amor opens with a rich texture for SSATTBB voices, immediately establishing a dense and complex harmonic world. This Italian madrigal explores profound emotions through its intricate part-writing. The text, a deeply personal lament, questions the beloved's potential departure and the lover's own fate. It speaks of the pain of separation, the consummation of the heart by sighs and burning sparks, and the injustice of a destiny that brings joy to others while condemning the speaker to a thousand torments. The music reflects this anguish, with soaring melodic lines and moments of intense harmonic colour.
