Ecco gia s'avicin'amati by Raffaello Rontani — Lyrics
Ecco gia s'avicin'amati lumi,
l'hora e'l punto crudel della partita,
l'hora e'l punto fatal della partita.
Mirate questi miei convers'infiumi,
versar l'anim'afflitta e sbigottita.

About Ecco gia s'avicin'amati
This secular Italian madrigal by Raffaello Rontani is for a solo soprano voice. It is a poignant expression of farewell, with the singer lamenting the imminent departure of a loved one. The text speaks of tears, a tormented and frightened soul, and a plea to love to allow consumption before the final parting. The singer wishes to be dissolved from mortal life and joyfully buried within the beloved's embrace. This is a deeply emotional piece, suitable for intimate settings where its dramatic narrative can be fully appreciated.
