Cara mia sdegnosetta by Amadio Freddi — Lyrics
Cara mia sdegnosetta,
Che per incrudelir il dolce ardore,
Tempri l'acceso sguardo
In lagrimoso humore.

About Cara mia sdegnosetta
In this secular Italian madrigal, Amadio Freddi sets a poem about a lover's unrequited passion. The singer addresses his beloved, whose scornful gaze nevertheless fuels his ardent love. He describes how her anger and disdain pierce him with love's arrows, and how she can strike only with love, even in her wrath. This SSATB setting is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, capturing the intense emotions of the text through intricate vocal interplay.
