Ecco ch'à voi ne viene by Francesco Soriano — Lyrics
Ecco ch'à voi ne viene
Fide ancelle d'amor alme felici,
E questi e quelli à mie preghiere amici.
Colmi voi d'ogni bene,
E a bei vostri desiri,
Favorevole il ciel sempre s'aggiri
E acciò viviate in speme,

About Ecco ch'à voi ne viene
Francesco Soriano was a prominent composer of the late Renaissance. Ecco ch'à voi ne viene is a secular madrigal, written for SSATB voices. The Italian text expresses a joyful celebration of a happy occasion, perhaps the birth of a child, with a blessing for continued prosperity and good fortune bestowed by Jove and Phoebus. The composer conveys this sense of abundant happiness through rich, imitative vocal writing, typical of the Italian madrigal tradition.
