Komm, mein Schatz by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Komm, mein Schatz, mit mir scherze, Cupido hats vergönnet,
und die stund uns benennet,
allhie an disem orte,
ach mich erfreu mit ein tröstlichen worte.
Von unser beider Hertzen, die feinen Lüfftlein geben,
so die flammen auffwehen,

About Komm, mein Schatz
This vibrant German secular madrigal for three female voices (SST) opens with an intimate and playful invitation from the lover. The music mirrors the text's ardour, with intertwining melodic lines and a texture that suggests the building passion. Brunelli's setting captures the Renaissance spirit of word-painting, depicting the 'flames' of love being fanned by gentle breezes and the eventual release of pent-up desire. The composer crafts a dialogue that is both sensuous and sophisticated, reflecting the elegance and emotional depth characteristic of the madrigal tradition. The piece is a delightful exploration of romantic yearning and fulfilment.
