Ben si conviene a voi by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Ben si conviene a voi
Così bel nome, alma mia rosa, poi
Che con quella beltà che ’l mondo honora
Vincete i più bei fiori,
E i più soavi odori

About Ben si conviene a voi
The words of this madrigal express a lover's plea to his rose, whose beauty surpasses even the finest flowers and most fragrant scents. He begs her not to disdain his service, especially as heaven seems to favour her. Cipriano de Rore, a master of the genre, sets this text for a rich SATTB choir. The interwoven vocal lines capture the delicate sentiments of the Italian Renaissance, creating a work of refined musical and poetic expression.
