About E cosi e'l cor di me pietade
Luzzasco Luzzaschi was a leading composer of madrigals in late 16th-century Ferrara. E cosi e'l cor di me pietade is a secular work for SATTB voices, setting a sophisticated Italian text. The lyrics speak of the heart being filled with pity, and the beloved's hand feeling the effects of this emotion. The composer's skill is evident in his musical setting of these words, depicting the internal feelings of the singer, who declares undying love for Leonora. This madrigal offers a fine example of the genre's expressive possibilities, characteristic of the Italian Renaissance.
