Li sdegni le repulse by Domenico Maria Ferrabosco — Lyrics
Li sdegni, le repulse, e finalmente
Tutt'i martír d’amor, tutte le pene,
Fan per lor rimembranza, che si sente
con miglior gust'un piacer quando viene.

About Li sdegni le repulse
Domenico Maria Ferrabosco was a significant figure in the Italian madrigal tradition. His setting of Li sdegni le repulse for SATB voices exemplifies the genre's focus on complex word painting and expressive harmony. The text, which speaks of the pains and torments of love, finding solace only when past suffering makes present pleasure sweeter, is treated with a rich contrapuntal texture. Ferrabosco explores the dramatic arc of the text, moving from the description of love's afflictions to the melancholy conclusion that even joy cannot fully banish the lingering effects of past heartache. This secular Italian madrigal offers a profound emotional journey through its intricate vocal lines.
