Ecco, ecco'l Messia -à Due by Anonymous — Lyrics
Laude del Natale del Signore di
Madonna Lucretia di Medici
Ecco'l messia, ecco'l messia,
E la madre sua Maria
Venite alme celseste
Su da gli eterni chori,
Venite , e fate feste
Al signore de signori,
Vengane & non dimori
La somma Gerachia. Ecco'l Messia,
Venite Angeli santi,
E venite sonando
Venite tutti quanti,
Giesù Christo lodando
Alla gloria cantando
Con dolce melodia. Ecco'l Messia
Patriarchi venite,
Venite festaggiando
Levate via le lite,
Cavate u'ha di bando,

About Ecco, ecco'l Messia -à Due
This Italian Christmas motet celebrates the birth of the Messiah with joyful anticipation. The text, attributed to Madonna Lucretia de Medici, calls upon celestial souls, angels, patriarchs, and prophets to rejoice and make merry at the arrival of Jesus Christ and his mother Mary. The music, for two voices, invites the listener to join in this heavenly celebration, with a simple yet effective melody that echoes the festive spirit of the Nativity. It offers a charming and accessible setting of a familiar Christmas theme, perfect for a small ensemble seeking a piece with a clear narrative and devotional message.
