Canzonetta da Bambini (from 'Triaca musicale') by Giovanni Croce — Lyrics
Andemo à Scuola Putti
Checchin, Momolo e ti caro Zisetto
Senti tu quel che dise Perinetto
che nostro Misier Pare
mo co Madonna Mare
i ha ditt’alla Mistra che ne dagha
co’ andemo tardi un caval senza bragha
Andemo via cantando
Oseleto salt’in Chebetta
Dimme il ver che nave è questa
No no disemo st’altra
Bragon è anda in Palazzo
co la spada sott’il brazzo
per farse far rason

About Canzonetta da Bambini (from 'Triaca musicale')
Giovanni Croce was a significant Venetian composer of the late Renaissance. This delightful Canzonetta da Bambini, part of his larger secular collection 'Triaca musicale', is a charming example of Italian madrigal writing. Scored for SATTB voices, it captures the boisterous energy of children heading off to school. The playful Italian text describes their excited chatter, their journey, and their arrival at the classroom, eager to learn their letters. Croce’s music perfectly mirrors the text’s lightheartedness and youthful exuberance, making it an engaging and spirited piece for a choir looking for Renaissance repertoire with a narrative quality.
