Fuggite amore by Claude Le Jeune — Lyrics
Fuggite amore, o voi che donne amate,
fuggite, anchor ch’andasse lei piangendo.
Che non si vince amor se non fuggendo.
Mutate loco, e per lo mondo andate
cridando libertà, sempre fuggendo.
Che non si vince amor se non fuggendo.

About Fuggite amore
For a choir seeking engaging secular Renaissance part-music, Claude Le Jeune’s Fuggite amore offers a delightful challenge. This Italian madrigal for SSATB voices explores the futility of resisting love, advising singers to flee from it. The text proclaims that love can only be conquered by fleeing, a notion reinforced through repeated refrains. It urges listeners to change their location, cry out for freedom, and arm themselves with disdain, day and night. The composer’s setting vividly captures the text’s urgent and insistent message, making it an ideal choice for choirs looking to perform vibrant and expressive Renaissance repertoire that demands both vocal agility and dramatic interpretation.
