Aventurose stille by Benedetto Pallavicino — Lyrics
Aventurose stille,
Che da nembi cadete a mille a mille,
Su le treccie e nel seno,
Di cosi bella Donna,
Hor perche almeno,
Non posso anch'io con non più vista foggia,

About Aventurose stille
Benedetto Pallavicino was a leading composer of madrigals in late 16th-century Italy. Aventurose stille is a secular work for SSATT voices, typical of the genre. The text expresses the longing of a lover for his beloved, whose beauty ignites his passion. He wishes he could transform himself to be near her, even to the point of touching her perfect skin and extinguishing his burning desire with her touch, or perhaps by her fiery gaze. The intricate vocal writing showcases the expressive possibilities of the Italian madrigal.
