Grave pene in Amor by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Gravi pene in amor si provan molte,
di che provat'io n'ho la maggior parte
et quell' in danno mio si ben raccolte
ch'io ne posso ragionar come per arte

About Grave pene in Amor
In the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, Cipriano de Rore’s madrigal Grave pene in Amor offers a rich exploration of unrequited love. Sung by three voices (STT), this secular work sets to music a text that vividly portrays the deep suffering endured in love. The composer masterfully captures the emotional weight of the words, translating the poet's lament into compelling musical phrases. This piece would be particularly suited for a concert programme seeking to showcase the expressive power of early polyphony, its intricate vocal lines weaving together to create a poignant and memorable soundscape.
