Fugge dal tuo bel viso by Giovanni del Turco — Lyrics
Fugge dal tuo bel viso
Il bianco avorio, e le vermiglie rose
Da le labra amorose.
Ma così pallidetta
La bocca, e'l viso alletta;

About Fugge dal tuo bel viso
The composer crafts a delicate musical setting for this Italian text, contrasting the absence of colour in the beloved's face with the allure of their pallor. The SSATB voices weave together, mirroring the poetic idea of love mingling and becoming confused within the beloved's pale complexion. This secular madrigal explores the paradox of beauty found even in a loss of colour, with the music reflecting the gentle yet insistent nature of love's sweet confusion. The interplay of the voices captures the subtle emotional shifts and the overall mood of tender contemplation present in Ansaldo Cebà's words.
