Alma che scorgi tu by Mariano Garau — Lyrics
Alma, che scorgi tu tanto di bel quaggiù
ch'al ciel non miri o pensi.
Or non sai tu ch'un di
ciò che più caro è qui, lasciar conviensi?

About Alma che scorgi tu
Mariano Garau’s motet for SABB choir, Alma che scorgi tu, sets a reflective Italian text that contrasts earthly pleasures with heavenly aspirations. The lyrics contemplate the fleeting nature of mortal life, comparing it to a rose that blooms at dawn but wilts by day’s end, emphasizing that all earthly beauty and youth quickly pass, like the wind. This sacred piece encourages singers and listeners alike to turn their thoughts towards the divine, recognizing the transient nature of worldly attractions. Its thoughtful text and straightforward voicing make it a moving selection for a choir seeking to express profound spiritual themes.
