Ahi pargoletto infante by Arnoldo Fiamengo — Lyrics
Ahi pargoletto infante, in cui m'affisol
Io mi sento morire,
Mentre veggio ferire
Le tenere tue membra, e il latte mio
Misto co'l sangue tuo versarmi un rio.

About Ahi pargoletto infante
This sacred laude, set for SAB choir, uses Italian text to express the poignant sorrow of the Virgin Mary contemplating the infant Jesus. The lyrics vividly portray her grief as she witnesses his suffering, her own milk mingling with his blood. She weeps, holding her circumcised son, her face stained and wet with his blood as she cradles the precious child. Arnoldo Fiamengo's setting brings this devotional scene to life, offering a moving reflection on maternal love and sacrifice through its harmonic and melodic contours.
