In meinem jungen Hertzen by Gemignano Capilupi — Lyrics
In meinem jungen Hertzen,
bald bisz in Todt,
leid ich jetzt noth,
mit schmerzen,
dasz musz ich mich beschweren,
die brunst der Liebe will mich gar verzehren,
wie sehr ich thu empfinden,
kan ich mich doch ausz der gefahr nicht finden.
In meinem angesichte,
du allzeit schwebst,
doch bey mir lebst, mi nichte.

About In meinem jungen Hertzen
Gemignano Capilupi's In meinem jungen Hertzen is a secular German madrigal for two sopranos and tenor. The text expresses the deep pain of unrequited love, where the speaker is consumed by a burning passion that offers no escape. The lover's image is ever-present, yet the beloved remains distant, causing profound suffering and a constant yearning for connection. The music would suit a concert programme, offering a poignant exploration of romantic anguish through the intricate polyphony characteristic of Renaissance part-music. The emotional intensity of the lyrics finds a natural parallel in the expressiveness of the vocal writing, making it a compelling choice for a skilled choral ensemble.
