Che vuoi piu by Bartolomeo Spighi da Prato — Lyrics
Che voi piu tu da me Lilla crudele.
Io con pre s'e ferito e fe ririt' t'e
quas'estinto un ch'e gia vinto
ah' che piu tormentar, un ch'e gia vinto.

About Che vuoi piu
Bartolomeo Spighi da Prato's Che vuoi piu is a secular madrigal for three male voices (TTB) in Italian. The text expresses the singer's anguish at the cruelty of the beloved Lilla. He questions what more she could want from him, as he is already wounded, suffering, and almost extinguished. He wonders if she desires to see his heart burn, a desire seemingly confirmed by the flames consuming him, wondering if she wants to witness him consumed by fire. This piece is a potent example of the emotional intensity found in Renaissance madrigals, ideal for a programme seeking dramatic Italian part-music.
