Felice, chi vi mira

Salamone Rossi's Felice, chi vi mira is a secular Italian madrigal for SSATB voices. It would be particularly well-suited to a concert programme in the Renaissance or Baroque style. The text celebrates the happiness of seeing a beloved, and the even greater joy of inspiring sighs and desire in them, culminating in the certainty of possessing their heart. Rossi masterfully captures the progression of intense emotion through his vocal writing, making this a compelling choice for choirs looking to explore the rich tradition of Italian madrigalism. The intricate interplay between the five vocal parts allows for a nuanced expression of the text's ardent sentiments.
