Deh scoprite colorite by Alessandro Costantini — Lyrics
1.Deh scoprite Colorite fresche rose il vostro seno,
Or che fuora, vien l'aurora, ond'il ciel si fa sereno.
2.Fior vermigli, Bianchi gigli palesate il bel tesoro,
Fin che cada, la ruggiada, sovr'il sen da i nembi d'oro.
3.Bell'Aurora, Ch'innamora fia colei ch'ogn'hor desio,

About Deh scoprite colorite
Alessandro Costantini’s charming aria for two sopranos, Deh scoprite colorite, opens with an immediate sense of lightness and gentle invitation. The two voices intertwine, creating a delicate filigree that mirrors the imagery of the text: the unfolding of fresh roses, the arrival of dawn, and the blooming of vibrant flowers. The Italian lyrics express a painterly vision of nature awakening, where the singers are encouraged to reveal their beauty like blossoms opening to the golden dew. The music reflects this, with flowing melodic lines and a pleasing, symmetrical structure ideal for a pair of equally matched sopranos.
