Amor mir hat genommen by Johann Nauwach — Lyrics
Amor mir hat genommen die edle Freyheit mein,
die selbe zu bekommen kein anderer Weg kan seyn,
als deren Gnad welche nun hat mein Herz in ihrer Hand,
entzwischen ich mus dulden mich in diesem trawrigen Standt.

About Amor mir hat genommen
Johann Nauwach's Amor mir hat genommen is a secular German madrigal for two sopranos and bass. It reflects the profound emotional turmoil of lost freedom, a state from which the composer suggests only the grace of the beloved can rescue him. The text describes a heart broken by suffering and pain, struggling with the disbelief that his profound love could be unmatched by any other. This piece would suit a consort of voices seeking to explore the expressive possibilities of Renaissance part-music, conveying the intensity of unrequited or lost love through its intimate voicing.
