All proceeds from our sales support Musica Secreta’s charitable objects – research, performing, and recording – so by buying from us you are helping us make more female-voice polyphonic repertoire available to everyone.

Text and translation

Occhi vaghi e lucenti,
albergo di cui sol e degno Amore,
onde haveste valore
di ralumar i miei ch’eran già spenti,
e l’alma ritornar entro al suo velo
qual era fatto gielo:
ch’ella di partir mossa era a volo,
ma l’impediste voi per più mio duolo.

Lovely and shining eyes,
dwelling of which only Love is worthy,
from whence you have the ability
to relight mine, that are already extinguished,
and to return the soul within its veil
that was made of ice:
she was making to leave by flight,
but you held her back, to increase my suffering.
