In tutto voi ch'io moro

This secular Italian madrigal for SATB voices, In tutto voi ch'io moro, is a passionate expression of unrequited love. The text describes the singer's torment and near-death from a lover's betrayal, pleading for affection even as they suffer. Composed by Antonio Scandello, this piece would be well-suited for a Renaissance music program or a concert seeking dramatic and emotionally charged repertoire. Its four-part harmony offers opportunities for rich vocal colour and dynamic contrast, capturing the intensity of the lament. The setting of this text allows for expressive interpretation of its themes of pain, longing, and the unresponsiveness of the beloved.
