Alla caccia by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger — Lyrics
Alla caccia pastori,
hor che portan la primavera, l'augelletti, le fier'e li fiori,
alla caccia pastori.
Alle resi, alle cani, alle strali, alla caccia pastori.
Che n'e invitano al sol nascete, se campagne di mille colori,
alle resi, alle cani, alle strali, alla caccia pastori.
A gl'odori, alli venti soavi, alla caccia pastori.
Non sentite come ritorna la stagione che desta gl'Amori,

About Alla caccia
As spring returns, the shepherds are called to the hunt, with birds, flowers, and gentle breezes inviting them out. This secular Italian song from the Baroque era by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger is set for two tenors. The text celebrates the renewal of nature, the return of love, and the simple joys of the countryside. It vividly portrays the sights and sounds of the season, urging the listeners to embrace the vibrant life around them. The music would be well-suited for a programme aiming to capture the pastoral spirit and the exuberance of spring in a chamber setting.
