Ardo sì, ma non t'amo by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
Ardo sì ma non t'amo
Perfida e dispietata,
Indegnamente amata
Da un si leale amante.

About Ardo sì, ma non t'amo
This is a secular madrigal for SATTB voices by Marco Antonio Ingegneri. Its Italian text, by Guarini, contrasts ardent passion with a rejection of love, proclaiming a heart now healed and burning with disdain rather than affection. The music would suit a concert programme exploring Renaissance polyphony or the expression of complex emotions in vocal music. The contrast between the outward appearance of burning desire and the inner reality of scorn offers the composer rich material for dramatic musical setting. The interplay between the four voice parts allows for a detailed exploration of the text's conflicting sentiments.
