Il Fortunato (Vò lodar mai sempre amor) by Giovanni Gastoldi — Lyrics
Vò lodar mai sempre amor
Che di gioia m’empie il cor
Tutte le pene,
Fiamme e catene
Dardie sospir
Vò bene dir
Poi chè alfin m’ha colmo il sen
D’ogni gioia e d’ogni ben.

About Il Fortunato (Vò lodar mai sempre amor)
A joyful secular madrigal from the Italian Renaissance, Gastoldi's Il Fortunato is perfect for adding a touch of light-hearted celebration to any concert program. The text expresses profound gratitude for love, which has filled the singer's heart with joy, banished all pain, and brought immense pleasure. The composer captures this sentiment with bright, cheerful music. Scored for SAB voices, this piece would sound delightful sung by a mixed-voice choir seeking accessible yet expressive Renaissance part-music. Its vivacious spirit makes it an ideal opener for a concert, or a charming selection for a lighter moment in a program.
