PROGRAM
lo son fenice Claudio Monteverdi
(xS67-i643)
I am a phoenix and you are the flame which burns me little
by little. You are the sun and I molten wax i I must die
of you. But death is so sweet to me that to die again,
I return to life.
Amatemi ben mio Luca Marenzio
(c.x56o-i;99)
Love me, my beloved, and sweeten my life. You show me no
pity. I will live disconsolate if I love you alone and am
not loved in return. Nourish my heart with your love,
for if not, I long to live no more.
Ahi che quest' occhi mici Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
(c-1SzS-I594)
Alas, these eyes of mine which once were happv have become
fountains of grief, day and night shedding bitter tears.
Alas, my breast, which once was ice, is all fire, like a
living furnace. So am I consumed by the face of m%
beloved.
Scherzan intorno i pargoletti imori Sahmone Rossi
(CAS70-CA63o)
Little cupids play around you, o my clear star. Violets and
roses compete for your favor, for you, among the beautiful,
are most beautiful of all.
