Amianci poi che by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Amianci poiché qui cosa non s'have
Più d'Amor dolce ove non fia sospetto
Amianci a prova e crescerà il diletto
Di pari al foco e fia più ognor soave
L'un doni a l'altro del suo cor la chiave
E donno il faccia d'ogni interno affetto
Di duo spirti una voglia un sol effetto
Sempre esca e non sia mai noioso e grave

About Amianci poi che
This expressive SSATB madrigal by Philippe de Monte sets a poem about the joys of mutual love. The text suggests that when two hearts are fully committed, sharing every affection and desire, their delight grows ever sweeter, like a fire. The composer's skillful setting enhances the imagery of playful, tender affections and the satisfaction found in a deep, shared love, a theme well-suited for intimate occasions. Monte's mastery of polyphony allows the voices to intertwine, creating a rich and nuanced texture that perfectly captures the poem's exploration of abundant and shared pleasure.
