Fuggit' Amor by Lodovico Bellanda — Lyrics
About Fuggit' Amor
Lodovico Bellanda was a composer of secular Italian villanellas. This work, Fuggit' Amor, is written for two male voices (TB). The text expresses the pain and despair of love gone wrong, where hope for mercy from a cruel beloved leads only to death. It speaks of a love that has fled, and will remain without stars, offering no pity to those who seek it from one who has none. The music reflects the sorrowful sentiments of the text, exploring the emotional landscape of unrequited affection and abandonment within the popular villanella style of its time.
