Amoroso mio foco by Pomponio Nenna — Lyrics
Amoroso mio foco
Onde sì strugg'il cor, sì dolcemente,
Ch'il suo morir non sente.

About Amoroso mio foco
Pomponio Nenna’s Amoroso mio foco is a secular Italian madrigal for SSATB voices. Perfect for a Renaissance-themed concert programme, this piece explores the painful yet sweet torment of love. The text speaks of a burning passion that consumes the heart so gently that it is unaware of its own demise. The singer implores this 'fiery love' never to be extinguished, finding joy even within suffering. Nenna’s sophisticated vocal writing captures the intensity of the emotions expressed in the text, making this a compelling choice for an experienced choir seeking to showcase expressive, polyphonic Renaissance repertoire.
