Hor che non più di te by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Hor che non più di te né d'altro calmi
Fallace mondo a che pomposa mostra
Mi fai del tuo ben finto ad altri il mostra
Che teco un rischio per molti altri valmi
Né perch'alquanto l'onda tua s'incalmi
T'affido l'alma mia ch'ad alta chiostra
Da fida stella a me per grazia mostra
Convien ch'io la rivolga e ch'io la spalmi.

About Hor che non più di te
Philippe de Monte’s Hor che non più di te is a striking SSATB composition in Italian. Its intricate vocal interplay, characteristic of Renaissance secular part-music, explores the spiritual disillusionment expressed in the text. The composer crafts a rich polyphonic texture that vividly reflects the text’s turning away from the deceptive allure of the world towards divine solace. The music mirrors the changing emotions, moving from worldly contemplation to a firm resolve in faith. This madrigal offers a profound emotional and spiritual journey, making it a compelling choice for choirs looking to engage with both the musical and textual depth of the period.
