Ich sing by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Ich sing, und ist mein Hertze umbgeben
gar mit eitel angst und schmerze,
dasz ich jetzt von dir scheide,
ach weh mein grossen leide.
Manch scherz haben wir getrieben,
offt in geheim wenn es uns thet belieben,
weil ich hieran thu dencken,
O Schatz, so thut mich krencken;

About Ich sing
Antonio Brunelli composed this German secular piece for treble voices (SSB). It is a madrigal, a genre of secular part-music popular in the Renaissance. The text expresses the sorrow of parting from a loved one, recalling shared joys and lamenting the pain of separation. Despite the heartache, the singer bids farewell, expressing a hopeful wish for a healthy reunion in God's name, and asks their beloved to be gracious as they depart. The music likely reflects the emotional journey from anguish to a bittersweet farewell, a common theme in madrigal settings of poetry.
