E me levai d'una bella mattina by Filippo Azzaiolo — Lyrics
E me levai d‘una bella mattina
Sol per andare allo giardin,
E me scontrai d‘una bella fantina,
ch‘a li basciai il suo dolce bochin.
Ella mi prese a dir
Caro mi‘ amor, dolce mio fin,
Quando ritornerast‘ a me?
Ella rispose: torne doman matin.
Ella mi prese a dir
Caro mi‘ amor dolce mio fin,
O dolc‘amor mio fin.

About E me levai d'una bella mattina
This delightful Italian madrigal for SATB voices paints a charming scene of a lover meeting his sweetheart in the garden. The text expresses the joy and tenderness of their encounter, with the lady eagerly awaiting her lover's return. The composer captures the lightheartedness and romantic sentiments of the Renaissance with engaging melodic lines and clear text setting. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies and playful interplay between the voices, making it an attractive choice for chamber choirs looking for accessible yet expressive secular Renaissance part-music. The text's simple narrative and sweet conclusion make it a perfect fit for a varied programme.
