Feinslieb, ich hab' gespüret by Gemignano Capilupi — Lyrics
Feinslieb, ich hab gespüret, dasz eur schimpffen und scherzen,
geht ausz ein falschen Hertzen,
mich thut ihr nicht alleine,
auch andre meinen, in eurem sinne,
schaut dasz euch nicht bey beiden theil zerinne.
Ich gebs euch zu erkennen, wie köndt ihr zweyen Herren
dienen nach ihrm begeren,
thut doch bey einem bleiben,
mit dem thut treiben

About Feinslieb, ich hab' gespüret
Gemignano Capilupi’s secular German madrigal Feinslieb, ich hab’ gespüret for SSB voices opens with a lively, imitative texture. The music captures the text’s warning against fickleness in love, with the singers urging their beloved to remain constant. The composer employs quick rhythms and clear melodic lines to illustrate the text’s direct address and plea for fidelity. It is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, showing how composers of the era used musical devices to reflect the meaning and emotional content of their chosen words. The piece is concise, making it suitable for a varied program.
