Amor, lasciami stare
Deh non mi tormentare
Poi ch’io vivo lontano
Dal mio sole sospirando invano

About Amor lasciami stare
Cornelio Antonelli’s Amor lasciami stare is a secular Italian madrigal for TTB voices. It captures the torment of unrequited love, with the singer pleading with Cupid to cease his persecution. The text expresses a deep desire for peace and a vow of faithfulness despite suffering. Antonelli's setting would make an excellent addition to a concert programme, offering a chance to explore the rich tradition of Renaissance Italian secular part-music. The text laments the singer's longing and sighs in vain, far from his sun, imploring the cruel archer to leave his thoughts. Despite this pain, the singer remains steadfast, loyal until death as is his custom.
