I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi by Andrea Rota — Lyrics
I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi
i quai posi in amar cosa mortale,
senza levarmi a volo, abbiend'io l'ale,
per dar forse di me non bassi esempi.
Tu che vedi i miei mali indegni et empi,
Re del cielo invisibile immortale,
soccorri a l'alma disviata e frale,
e 'l suo defecto di tua gratia adempi.

About I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi
Andrea Rota's I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi is an SATB madrigal for mixed voices. The text expresses deep regret for time spent pursuing mortal love, asking for divine assistance for a soul that has strayed. The singer laments a life lived in turmoil and, longing for peace, implores the King of Heaven to guide their final days. The words convey a profound spiritual yearning for redemption and a peaceful end after a turbulent existence. Rota's setting of this introspective Italian text offers a rich harmonic language appropriate for secular Renaissance part-music, allowing the choir to explore the emotional depth of the lament.
