Come Fenice regni by Annibale Marchese — Lyrics
Come Fenice regni al Mondo sola
A Dio simil, cui terra, e ciel s'inchina,
Vergine Donna sola, sol'alta Regina.
Come lucente Sol, ch'i suo'bei rai
In giro spande, oltra le belle bella,
Splendi nel cielo, e vinci ogn'altra stella.
Come Cipresso sorgi, e altiero Cedro
In Monte più sublime, e come Palma

About Come Fenice regni
Annibale Marchese's Come Fenice regni is a devotional work for treble voices (SSB). The text is in Italian and draws on rich imagery to praise the Virgin Mary, comparing her to a phoenix, the sun, and various trees renowned for their strength and fruitfulness. The music aims to reflect this elevated subject matter, with the three voices weaving together to create a soundscape worthy of a queen of heaven. The composer uses the devotional laude tradition to express profound reverence, seeking solace and inspiration through musical devotion. This setting offers a chance for young singers to engage with a text of deep spiritual significance.
