Since first I saw your face (mp3)

This is a Madrigal, crafted by the talented Thomas Ford. The dwsChorale, a one-man choir, lends their voice to the piece. The rendition includes the first two verses of the song. The lyrics convey a deep affection from the first sight of someone and a commitment to honor and praise them. There is a heartfelt wish of never having known the person if rejection is the outcome. A question arises about the possibility of a disagreement between the one who loved and the one who reciprocated. The response is a strong refusal as the heart is deeply intertwined and cannot be freed. The sun, a metaphor, continues the narrative with its radiant beams.
