Dunque Filli mia cara

Dunque Filli mia cara paints an intimate scene where lovers embrace, their kisses intertwining as their tongues meet. The text expresses the sheer delight and pleasure found in this passionate union, with the imagery of tongues knotting together in a multitude of kisses underscoring the intensity of their affection. Antonio Cifra’s madrigal for SSATB voices captures this amorous mood with expressive Italian text. This secular work is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, offering rich harmonic and contrapuntal possibilities for an accomplished choir looking to explore the expressive power of the Italian madrigal.
