E d'una viduvella by Filippo Azzaiolo — Lyrics
È d'una viduella,
Do, ch'innamorato m'ha,
Non so con l'andarà.
O quanto che l'e bell'a gl'occhi miei,
Io penso sol di lei, la nott'e'l giorno
Penso di sua beltà.

About E d'una viduvella
Imagine a lively Renaissance gathering, perhaps a rustic celebration or a moment of shared joy, where this Italian madrigal would have been sung. Filippo Azzaiolo’s E d'una viduvella is a delightful example of secular part-music from the period. Scored for SATB choir, the piece explores themes of infatuation and admiration. The text speaks of a beautiful widow who has captured the singer's heart, occupying his thoughts day and night with her beauty and striking black eyes. The composer captures the earnestness of this unrequited affection through his music, creating a charming and engaging work that would have been a highlight of social entertainment.
