Es müht ir vil by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
Es müht ir vil mein zugestanden Glück;
frag jetzt nit mehr nach schwetzers Neid und Trück,
weil mir mein Will gegn dir nit geht zurück.
Klaff, was du wilt, ich hab gewunnen Spil;
Wanns dich verdreust, so wirst wol schweigen still.
Mich freut allein, dasz gschehen ist mein Will.

About Es müht ir vil
This delightful German secular madrigal by Jacob Regnart is for three voices (SST). Its text expresses a defiant joy in newfound happiness, dismissing the envy and ill-will of others. The composer assures us that whatever detractors may say, his love will not falter, and he is content with his chosen path. The music likely reflects this confident and light-hearted sentiment, making it a charming addition to a programme of Renaissance part-music. It would suit a formal concert setting, perhaps as a moment of bright contrast.
