Christo ver'huom e Dio by Giovanni Razzi — Lyrics
Christo ver’ huom e Dio,
sotto spetie di pan t’ador’io.
Adoro Te nell’Hostia consacrata,
con la virtù della fede sincera;
per le parole è transostantiata
la sostanza del pane in carne vera;

About Christo ver'huom e Dio
Giovanni Razzi was a composer of madrigals, a genre of secular part-music popular in the Renaissance. This sacred setting, however, is for STB voices and sets a devotional Italian text. The lyrics express a profound adoration of Christ in the consecrated Host, recognizing his divinity and humanity. The text speaks of faith, the miracle of transubstantiation, and addresses Jesus as creator and lord, highlighting his infinite wisdom, power, and love. Razzi’s musical setting would have explored the rich harmonies and textures characteristic of the madrigal tradition to convey the deep spiritual sentiments of the text.
