Chi brama di veder by Gemignano Capilupi — Lyrics
Chi brama di veder quanto puo amore,
veng' a mirar questi dolenti lumi
ch'egli hà convers' in riv'e'n font'e'n fiumi.
E questi fiumi ha poi convers'in fiamme,
O gran poter d'Amor, d'un chiuso loco
far sorger acqua e d'acqua poi far foco.

About Chi brama di veder
This delightful canzonetta by Gemignano Capilupi offers a vivid expression of unrequited love, perfect for a lighter moment in a concert or a festive gathering. Set to Italian text, the composer vividly portrays the power of love through metaphors of burning tears and fiery streams. The music, for SSB voices, captures the ardent sentiments of the poetry, exploring themes of desire and the overwhelming force of romantic passion. Capilupi's skill in crafting engaging secular part-music from the Renaissance era is evident in this charming work. Its playful yet earnest depiction of love's effects makes it a charming addition to a choir's repertoire.
