All mein Gedancken by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
All mein Gedancken
ohn alle Mancken,
künnen mit nichten
sich anderst richten
als nur gen der allein,
die ich mit treuen mein, mein.
Wo ich hinwende
in dem Elende,
mein beide Augen,
ohn alles laugen,
so sih ich die allein
die ich mit treuen mein.

About All mein Gedancken
Jacob Regnart was a prolific composer of madrigals in the late 16th century. His secular German part-music is characterized by expressive word-setting, and this example is no exception. The text, sung by three female voices (SSA), speaks of a love so consuming that the singer can think of nothing else. Whether in joy or sorrow, his eyes and heart are turned solely towards his beloved. The music likely reflects this obsessive devotion, with intricate lines and harmonies weaving together to paint a vivid picture of unwavering affection.
