Amor da te conosco by Girolamo Scotto — Lyrics
Amor, da te conosco quel ch'io sono,
tu primo mi levasti,
da terra e'n ciel alzasti,
et al mio dir donasti un dolce suono,
e tu colei di cui sempre ragiono,

About Amor da te conosco
The composer Girolamo Scotto offers this Italian madrigal for TTB voices. The music opens with the interplay of the three male parts, creating a rich texture. The text, Amor da te conosco, expresses the poet's deep feeling and recognition of love's power. Love is presented as the source of his being, elevating him from earth to heaven, and bestowing a sweet sound upon his words. Love also reveals the object of his constant thoughts, bringing graceful and chaste ideas into his heart, a noble gift indeed. This secular composition from the Renaissance period showcases the expressive capabilities of unaccompanied male voices.
