(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) The soprano joins the choir for the twice-repeated middle section of the piece. The music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) The tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “The Song of Songs” for male voice and band.

The madrigal became de Rore's most popular work, one of the most widely distributed madrigals of the entire 16th Century Ancor che col partire io mi senta morire, partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento: tant'e il piacer ch'io sento de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno: et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno partir da voi vorrei: tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei. Although when I leave you it is as if I were dying, I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment, I am so very happy when life comes back to me when I return: and so I wish I could leave you many thousand times a day because my heart leaps with joy when I return.  less
