About Dolce Filli, mia cara
Stefano Bernardi's Dolce Filli, mia cara is a secular Italian madrigal for a large choir of SATTB voices. The text expresses the lover's torment and delight in his beloved, Filli. He addresses her as 'sweet Filli, my dear,' and 'my dear, sweet life,' finding her more welcome than his own soul. Her eyes wound him, and her singing kills him, leaving him uncertain who will claim credit for his death – the dart from her eye or the boast from her mouth.
