Correte pescatori by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger — Lyrics
Correte pescatori ai liti,
correte alle barche, alle reti, alle liti,
non sentite come ritorna lieta la bell' Aurora,
come vago soggiorna, il mattin novo ancora,
che la nova siren'al canto e d'alletta
e ritira e d'infiamma i cori,
a mortali splendori,
correte pescatori…
Correte pescatori ai liti,
correte alle barche, alle reti, alle liti,
non sentite come tranquilla l'onda del mar si tace,

About Correte pescatori
This lively Italian secular song for two tenors, Correte pescatori, opens with an immediate sense of urgent motion. The text urges fishermen to hurry to their boats and nets, awakened by the beautiful dawn and the enchanting song of a new siren. The music mirrors this, with active vocal lines that seem to propel the narrative forward. The composer, Kapsperger, known for his virtuosic lute compositions, crafts a piece here that is both descriptive and energetic. The repeated calls to action and vivid imagery of the sea and its inhabitants create a wonderfully dramatic and engaging musical scene, perfect for adding a touch of vibrant storytelling to a recital or concert.
