Fuggi, fuggi, oh mio core by Ascanio Mayone — Lyrics
Fuggi, fuggi, oh mio core,
Non vedi la man bella,
Che congiurata coi begl'occhi anch'ella
Per farti prigionier, vienti a ferire?

About Fuggi, fuggi, oh mio core
This secular Italian madrigal by Ascanio Mayone, for SATTB voices, vividly depicts a heart in turmoil. The text describes the beloved's beautiful hand and eyes conspiring to capture the singer's heart. Despite an initial urge to flee, the singer realizes escape is futile, acknowledging the heart is already taken and resignation to this fate is inevitable. Ascanio Mayone's setting likely captures the dramatic and emotional intensity of this Renaissance part-music, making it a compelling choice for a concert programme seeking expressive vocal works.
