Igno soave ove'l mio foco by Philippe Verdelot — Lyrics
Igno soave
Ove'l mio foco alento
Ascolta in cortesia
Qual e la pena mia
Io ben ti veggio adorn’in si bell’arte
Che mai formo natura in altra parte

About Igno soave ove'l mio foco
Philippe Verdelot was a French composer of the Renaissance, whose career took him to Italy. He was a significant figure in the development of the madrigal. This work, Igno soave ove'l mio foco, is a secular Italian madrigal for SATB choir. The text speaks of a gentle flame and the poet's suffering, comparing the beauty of his beloved to nature's finest creations. He yearns to see his lady's face, which would make the world a paradise. Verdelot's setting captures the emotional intensity of the poetry with rich vocal harmonies, characteristic of the Italian madrigal tradition.
