Cantare voglio sempre by Giovanni Domenico da Nola — Lyrics
Cantare voglio sempre, sempre estar’ in gioco
Poi che son tutte rotte la catene
Che me davano sempre guai e pene.
E rendere ne voglio gratia al Cielo
Che m’have in tutto liberato
Da quello laccio che m’have ligato.

About Cantare voglio sempre
Giovanni Domenico da Nola's Cantare voglio sempre, a secular Italian madrigal for STB voices, immediately establishes a joyous and energetic mood. The music reflects the exuberant text, which speaks of freedom from chains of sorrow and gratitude to heaven for liberation. The composer captures the singer's delight in being released from suffering and a state of despair, returning to a former happiness. The interplay between the three voices, as they express this newfound liberty and contentment, creates a rich and engaging sound world. This work is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, celebrating a return to a state of well-being with vibrant vocal writing.
