Amor io son sì lieto by Baldassare Donato — Lyrics
Amor, io son sì lieto,
Quando stretto mi trovo in mille nodi,
ne gl’amorosi nodi,
Ch’altro cor non fu mai del mio più quieto.
O cor felice mio, hor vivi et godi

About Amor io son sì lieto
This lively Italian madrigal by Baldassare Donato offers a joyful exploration of love's embrace. Set for SATTB voices, the music captures the exuberant spirit of the text, which describes the singer's delight in being bound by love's ties. The lyrics speak of a heart so content within these amorous connections that it has never known greater peace. The composer's setting reflects this happiness, painting a picture of blissful freedom found within the very chains of affection. It is a secular work, perfect for a moment of shared pleasure and sophisticated musical expression, celebrating the sweet paradox of liberty found in devoted commitment.
