Il cor che ben disposto by Anonymous — Lyrics
Il/ El cor che ben disposto
Fu de servirte ogni hora
O par che mia signora
Non si pente, Non si pente.
Il/ El cor che me fu absente
Da la tua iugorda voglia
Non vo chaltri lo soglia
Se non morte
Il/ El cor che tuo per forte
Con fe te vol servire
Et amando te obedire
Fin chio vivo
Il/ El cor che in tutto privo
Dogni conforto e speme

About Il cor che ben disposto
This charming Italian frottole from the Renaissance era is set for SATB choir. The text expresses the devotion and unwavering commitment of a heart dedicated to serving its beloved lady. It speaks of a heart ready to obey, finding solace only in its lady's will, and enduring hardship with faith. The composer is anonymous, but the music perfectly captures the spirit of the era's secular part-music. This piece would be ideal for a choir looking to explore the rich tradition of early Italian secular song, offering a delightful opportunity to convey themes of love, loyalty, and steadfastness through intricate vocal lines.
