Amor m'ha fato deventar fenice by Giovanni Domenico da Nola — Lyrics
Amor m’ha fato deventar fenice
Colmo d’affanni e colmo di dolore
Che me rinova sempre nell’ ardore
Et io di questo mi tengo felice
Et diame fiam’ e foco pur amore
Che me rinova sempre nell’ ardore

About Amor m'ha fato deventar fenice
Giovanni Domenico da Nola's Amor m'ha fato deventar fenice is a secular madrigal for SATB choir. The text blends Italian and Latin, expressing the lover's transformation into a phoenix, consumed by the burning ardour of passion. He finds joy in this suffering, which love renews, yet fears that a bitter day might bring him double shame. This setting is typical of the Italian Renaissance, where madrigals explored complex emotional states through sophisticated vocal interplay.
