Era l'anima mia by Antonio Cifra — Lyrics
Era l'anima mia
già presso l'ultim'hore
e languia come langue alma che more;
quand'anima più bella, e più gradita
volse lo sguardo in sì pietoso giro
che mi ritenne in vita.

About Era l'anima mia
Antonio Cifra was a composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. His secular madrigal Era l'anima mia for SSATB voices is a powerful expression of love and devotion. The text describes a soul close to death, revived by a beloved glance. The singers convey the speaker's plea and the beloved's reassurance, exploring the profound connection between two souls where one's life is inextricably bound to the other's. Cifra's setting captures the emotional intensity of the Italian lyrics, making it a compelling choice for a skilled choir.
