A Voi Londonio invio
queste mie basse note e questo canto,
e vi prego di cuor come desio,
vi degnate di far lor scudo e manto,

About A Voi Londonio
This secular madrigal by Pietro Vinci, written for a five-part choir of SAAAB, is an appealing example of Italian Renaissance part-music. The composer addresses his work to 'Londonio', sending his 'low notes and this song' and asking that they be shielded and adorned by his favour and light. The text expresses a humble yet hopeful plea for the recipient to lend his patronage to the composer's efforts, imbuing them with charm and splendour. This intimate and personal dedication makes A Voi Londonio a fitting choice for a chamber choir seeking to explore the expressive possibilities of the madrigal form in its original language.
