Et ei fero e sdegnoso by Giulio Renaldi — Lyrics
Et ei fero e sdegnoso
Vago di far vendetta,
Spinta la man la dove l'ira il mena,
Quante faci orgoglioso
In man si trova getta

About Et ei fero e sdegnoso
Giulio Renaldi's Et ei fero e sdegnoso is a secular Italian madrigal for SATB choir. The text expresses a lover's intense frustration and desire for revenge against a scornful beloved, Cintia. He is driven by wrath, arming himself with pride and prideful torches, intending to strike her heart with lightning and thunder. His aim is to make her feel the burning passion that torments all others from her face. Yet, she dismisses his advances with coldness, her heart's chill extinguishing all his fire. This piece captures the dramatic emotional turmoil typical of the madrigal tradition.
