Godete amanti by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger — Lyrics
Godete amanti de vostri amori
i dolci frutti apresso i fiori.
Che sia mercede cosi gradita
la vostra fede e’l ciel v’invita,
O che felice uscir di vita.

About Godete amanti
Imagine a sunlit garden in Italy, the air sweet with the scent of flowers. This is the setting for Kapsperger’s delightful secular song, Godete amanti. It is a celebration of love and its joys, a sentiment perfectly captured in the text which urges lovers to enjoy the sweet fruits of their affections. The music, for SSB voices, would be ideal for a moment of lighthearted reflection, perhaps at a summer gathering or a convivial feast. The clear Italian text and pleasing vocal lines make this a charming addition to a programme looking for spirited and attractive Renaissance part-music.
