A che bramar by Giovanni Rovetta — Lyrics
A che bramar, a che aventar i dardi
In segni oscuri ed al colpir fallaci?
In che ti struggi e sfaci
Stolto voler ch’ogni tuo ben ritardi?
Oggi se avampi ed ardi,
Diman quanto bramavi odi e disprezzi.
Quel che piace è un inganno
Che ci addormenta con lusinghe e vezzi;

About A che bramar
Giovanni Rovetta's A che bramar is a sacred madrigal for SSATTB voices, written in Italian. It explores the fleeting nature of earthly desires and the futility of chasing transient pleasures. The text questions the wisdom of pursuing uncertain goals, highlighting how what pleases us today can be despised tomorrow. It speaks of deception, the restlessness of the heart, and the inevitable decay of all things. Fortune is shown to be fickle, giving and taking away, while time flies and life's ambitions fade. The world dies and is reborn, with life feeding on death itself. This piece would suit a choir seeking a contemplative reflection on mortality and spiritual truth.
