Amor sciolt' e lo laccio by Luca Marenzio — Lyrics
Amor sciolt' è lo laccio,
ne piu nel foc' aggiaccio,
ma son felic'e vivo,
fra mille gioie del tuo amor hor privo.
Già rotta è la catena,
ne pato hora piu pena,
ma vivo lieto fuore
del carcere amoroso e senz'adora.

About Amor sciolt' e lo laccio
Luca Marenzio’s Amor sciolt' e lo laccio is a secular Italian madrigal for treble voices (SSB). The text expresses the singer's liberation from the bonds of love. Once trapped by a cruel passion, the narrator now rejoices in freedom, no longer suffering from the lover’s gaze or the chains of desire. The music reflects this newfound happiness with joyful melodies and a sense of release. This piece would be ideal for a concert setting, offering a bright and engaging moment celebrating the end of romantic torment and the embrace of sweet liberty. Its text is a vivid personification of love's powerful, and sometimes oppressive, influence.
