m'ha pur concesso Amore,
che m'accessero il cor
con tanto ardore.

About Di baciar quei begl'occhi
Stefano Bernardi paints a vivid scene of love's consuming power in Di baciar quei begl'occhi. The text describes the overwhelming desire to kiss eyes that have ignited the heart with such ardour. It questions the intense force that causes the soul to overflow and to yearn for the very source of its pain. This secular Italian madrigal for SSATB or SMsATB captures the dramatic emotional turmoil of unrequited or intense love with expressive harmonies and intricate vocal writing, characteristic of the genre in the late Renaissance or early Baroque.
