Cor mio, se gli è pur vero
che del mio mal del mio languir ti dolga,
pria che morte disciolga

About Cor mio, se gli è pur vero
Andrea Gabrieli was a leading composer of the Venetian school. His SSATB madrigal Cor mio, se gli è pur vero is a secular Italian part-song typical of the late Renaissance. The text expresses a lover's plea to his heart: if you truly feel my suffering, remember the joys we once shared before death releases these afflicted limbs. Gabrieli sets these intense words with rich vocal colours, creating a highly expressive and dramatic musical setting of a deeply personal lament.
