L©anima mia, Signore by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
L'anima mia, Signore,
già creatura di tua man sì degna,
or te, suo creatore,
chi 'l crederebbe, è d'albergar indegna.
Deh s'il fettor della corporea stanza

About L©anima mia, Signore
The words of L'anima mia, Signore express a soul's deep penitence and longing for divine healing. The speaker, once a noble creation, now feels unworthy of its Creator due to sin. The text pleads that if the Creator abhors the 'stench' of the physical body, then at least the soul, bearing the Creator's likeness, should be succoured. A plea for spiritual restoration is offered, seeking a divine word to make the soul whole again. This sacred madrigal by Marco Antonio Ingegneri for SATTB voices sets this profound Italian text with the expressive intensity characteristic of the genre.
