Con lagrime e sospir negando porge
Madonna i desiati basci al core
E perche tropp’ardore
Dentr’al mio petto scorge

About Con lagrime & sospir
Philippe Verdelot's Con lagrime & sospir is a fine example of secular Italian madrigal part-music for four voices. The composer explores the text's theme of bittersweet love, where the beloved grants kisses with tears and sighs. The musical setting reflects this tension, with moments of plaintive harmony set against the joy of passionate desire. The interplay between the SATB voices captures the emotional depth of the text, offering a rich and expressive experience for singers and listeners alike. It is a compelling miniature that showcases the expressive possibilities of the Renaissance madrigal form.
