L'altri ieri intisi by Giovanni Domenico da Nola — Lyrics
L'altri ieri intisi dicere a galluccio,
Cha non e donna chi ne cortesana
Mostrate humana mo che si bella
Cha tutto perde chi non e citella.
Non sai che dice pur donno fenuczio
Chi non ha amore non e christiana

About L'altri ieri intisi
Giovanni Domenico da Nola paints a lively scene in his Italian secular piece, L'altri ieri intisi. The text, sung by three voices (AAT), humorously recounts gossip and pronouncements from various characters about love and life. One character asserts that no woman is as beautiful as a maiden, another states that without love one is not Christian, and a third quotes Ovid, suggesting that one must embrace worldly pleasures and perhaps even a touch of madness to truly live. This work, belonging to the madrigal and villanella traditions, offers a delightful glimpse into Renaissance Italian part-music, characterized by its engaging text and intimate vocal scoring.
