About Anchor ch'io possa dire
Domenico Micheli was a composer of secular Italian madrigals in the late Renaissance. This work for double choir (SATB.SATB) is a fine example of the genre. The text speaks of deep love and devotion, expressing a heart that feels alive only in the presence of its beloved. The writer laments that since they are not always allowed to be near, they would never wish to be separated. Even the thought of being apart from their life's love brings immense pain.
