Chi scuopr' hoggi by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
Chi scuopr' hoggi fra noi tanti splendori?
Il lampeggiare,
il balenare,
il saettare,
de becl'occhi di Clori,
il lamperi.
Chi spira hoggi fra noi si grati odori?
Il leggiadretto,
il vezzosetto,
il senne pletto,
de la dolci mia Clori,
il leggiadri.
Chi sveglia hoggi fra noi si dolci amori?
Il comparire,

About Chi scuopr' hoggi
Orazio Vecchi's Chi scuopr' hoggi is a delightful secular canzonetta for treble voices (SAT). The music opens with a bright, effervescent quality, soon joined by imitative entries that weave a rich, interwoven texture. The Italian text is a celebration of Clori's beauty and charm, described through a series of dazzling comparisons to light, sweet scents, and blooming flowers. Vecchi’s setting captures the lightness and exuberance of the text, creating a playful and engaging musical experience. The three-part writing allows for both clarity of expression and delightful harmonic interplay, making it a charming addition to any treble choir's repertoire. This piece is a fine example of the canzonetta genre, known for its spirited melodies and often lighthearted subject matter.
