Benedetto Pallavicino: Il sesto libro de madrigali a cinque voci, 1600 [The Consort Of Musicke]

Benedetto Pallavicino (c1551-1601)

Il sesto libro de madrigali a cinque voci, 1600

Come vivrò

Deh, dolce anima

Anima del cor mio

Amor, i' parto

A poco a poco io sento

Amor, se non consenti

Ahi, come a un vago sol

Ch'io non t'ami, cor mio?

Lunge da vio, ben mio

Sol mirando vorrei

Io disleale?

Vivrò io mai

Era l'anima mia

Temprati i sdegni e l'ire

Oh come vaneggiate

Cor mio, deh non languire

Ohimè! se tanto amate

Crud' amarilli; ma grideran per me

Crudelissima doglia

Oggi nacqui, ben mio

Dolce spirto d'amore
