Clori nel mio partire by Luca Marenzio — Lyrics
Clori nel mio partire
languiva al mio languire,
e dalle luci ov'ha ricetto Amore,
cadeano a mille a mille
le rugiadose stille.
Cauto v'accorse il mio dolente core

About Clori nel mio partire
Luca Marenzio’s SATTB madrigal Clori nel mio partire paints a poignant scene of parting. As the singer leaves, Clori languishes, tears falling from her eyes like dew. The singer’s heart, aware of love’s presence in her gaze, carefully gathers these precious tears, stealing them with kisses. In a wondrous turn, these tears become the sustenance of his life. Now separated from her, he lives on thanks to them. This secular Italian part-song captures the Renaissance fascination with elaborated emotional expression and word-painting, characteristic of the madrigal genre.
