Del Sol', e d'ogni stella by Scipione Dentice — Lyrics
Del Sol', e d'ogni stella
Vergin più chiara, e bella,
Co'l tuo lucent'ardore,
A me, che puoi, raccendi l'Alma e'l core.
Ahi core mio infelice!
Se vuoi quel che non lice,
E brami esser conforte
Di ben, d'amor, ch'allice, e da la morte.

About Del Sol', e d'ogni stella
Scipione Dentice composed Del Sol', e d'ogni stella for SSB voices. This sacred laude sets an Italian text that directly addresses the Virgin Mary, praising her as brighter and more beautiful than the sun and stars. The lyrics explore themes of spiritual longing and the fleeting nature of earthly desires, contrasting them with the eternal light of faith. The composer urges the listener to turn their inner eye towards this divine radiance, lest they face eternal fire. The text serves as a devotional reflection on purity, the vanity of worldly pursuits, and the ultimate salvation found in turning to God.
