Si, mi dicesti si - Philips, Peter

"Source: Published by Pierre Phalese the Younger in Antwerp in: Di Pietro Philippi Inglese Organista delli sereniss. prencipi Alberto et Isabella Archiduchi d'Austria &c. Il Primo Libro di Madrigali a Sei Voci. The original clefs were C1, C1, C3, C4, C4, F4. The unusually sudden ending, with just a crotchet in all voice parts, is clearly a humorous word-painting effect, and is reminiscent of the ending of Jean Crespel's setting of Vox in Rama which similarly suggests something (in that case, however, the lives of infants) being suddenly snuffed out."

¶Lyrics / Text

Si, mi dicesti si, ed io quel dolcissimo “si” mandai al core subitamente ed arsi di quel foco dolcissimo d’amore che per altr’esca non potea destarsi. Hor che voi vi pentite, anch’io mi pento e com’un “si” m’accese, un “nò” m’ha spento.
