Coro: Se v'offre il mondo e 'l senso by Giovanni Legrenzi — Lyrics
Angelo custode: Dunque homai rimirate, Humani Cori,
Con che veri Tesori
V'ha comprato Giesù:
Se saggi siete
Per un prezzo minor non vi vendete.

About Coro: Se v'offre il mondo e 'l senso
Giovanni Legrenzi's Coro: Se v'offre il mondo e 'l senso is a sacred choral work for SATB voices, likely drawn from one of his oratorios. The Italian text offers a moral reflection, urging listeners to reject worldly vanities and fleeting pleasures in favour of spiritual riches. The chorus powerfully conveys the message that these earthly offerings are ultimately worthless when contrasted with the divine sacrifice mentioned in the preceding recitative. Legrenzi's setting would have been intended to amplify the dramatic and spiritual impact of the text within the context of a larger sacred drama.
