About Deh come scherza e ride
Alessandro Savioli’s madrigal Deh come scherza e ride portrays the playful and enticing power of Love, embodied in beautiful eyes. The text describes how Love taunts and challenges every heart, bringing delight and sweet ardour. It speaks of a joyful destiny, with luminous rays reaching the singer’s breast. This Italian secular work is written for SATTB voices, typical of the madrigal tradition, and explores the expressive capabilities of a rich vocal ensemble through its poetic imagery and amorous theme.
