Guidommi alto destino by Luzzasco Luzzaschi — Lyrics
Guidommi alto destino,
Quel di che scorsi voi da un puro fonte,
Tragger fresch' e dolci acque,
Laura gentil ond' ogni ben mi nacque.
Perche mentre miravo intento e fiso,

About Guidommi alto destino
Sing this secular Italian madrigal by Luzzasco Luzzaschi, composed for SATTB voices. The text speaks of a profound destiny, inspired by a first encounter with a gentle lady. The singer recalls the moment, captivated by her serene face and graceful bearing, feeling as if in paradise. This moment of intense admiration leads to a passionate thought: if she were to return his love, he would embrace death in her arms. It's a reflection on love's power and the overwhelming joy and desire it can inspire, fitting for moments of intense emotion in a concert setting.
