Chi vuol provare by Loreto Vittori — Lyrics
Chi vuol provare,
quanto compare,
un poltron sa,
fa di mesdire
mangiar e here,
e non pensar piu'in la.
Vienne pur via,
poltroneria,
vien t' a me,
sa lami addosso,
ch'haver non posso,
cosa maglior che te.
Il Mond'honori,
gl'altrui sudori,
quant' egli puo,

About Chi vuol provare
Loreto Vittori’s Chi vuol provare is a secular aria sung by a solo soprano. The text, in Italian, offers a humorous defence of idleness, praising laziness and contrasting it with the supposed undeserved honour given to hard work. The music would have been composed in the 17th century, a period when the solo aria flourished. This work offers a delightful glimpse into the era’s sophisticated secular vocal music, allowing a single voice to explore both the musical and textual nuances of the composer’s witty sentiment.
