Donna quando vi bacio by Hans Brachrogge — Lyrics
Donna, quando vi bacio
deh raddoppiat'il bacio,
che se nel bel sorriso,
m'aprite un bel narciso,
e ridendo e baciando,

About Donna quando vi bacio
Hans Brachrogge's charming madrigal Donna quando vi bacio is set for two-part treble choir (SSB). The Italian text paints a playful scene of lovers, with the singer imploring his beloved to double her kisses. As he kisses her, he imagines a narcissus flower opening in her smile. He asks that, as he kisses and she laughs, echoing his kisses, their voices might sound like an echo from a hidden cave. Brachrogge’s setting captures the lighthearted and amorous spirit of the Renaissance madrigal, offering a delightful musical interpretation of this playful Italian verse.
