Donne che di super tanto vi cale by Eliseo Ghibel — Lyrics
Donne, che di saper tanto vi cale,
che cosa e amor, s'egli e fanciul'o vecchio,
s'egli vede per gli occhi o per un specchio,
se la pharetra tien se porta l'ale,
deh nol cercate per men vostro male,

About Donne che di super tanto vi cale
This Italian madrigal by Eliseo Ghibel explores the nature of love with wit and charm. The text playfully warns the listener against trying to fully understand love, describing it as a mischievous, often unwelcome visitor. The composer employs a bright ATB voicing, perfect for conveying the lighthearted yet poignant reflections on this universal emotion. The piece is a fine example of secular Renaissance part-music, offering a delightful challenge for choirs seeking engaging repertoire that balances vocal dexterity with expressive interpretation.
