Ecco il Signor in Croce by Giovanni Pietro Biandra — Lyrics
Ecco il Signor in Croce, aspro mio core,
ecco la lancia chiodi, ecco le spine
che'l sen, le palme, i piedi e l'aureo crine
tinto ha di sangu'e tu non hai dolore,
baciali, bacia l'ingrata bocca,
occhi empi fuori versat'un largo pianto
e voi meschine,
adorat el mie membra senza fine,

About Ecco il Signor in Croce
Giovanni Pietro Biandra's Ecco il Signor in Croce is a sacred madrigal for double bass. The text, written in Italian, contemplates the suffering of Christ on the cross, urging the listener's heart to respond with grief and adoration. The composer vividly depicts the wounds and the blood, alongside the immense power of the Creator who fashioned the heavens and earth. This work is a poignant reflection on sacrifice and divine love, expressed with the intense emotionalism characteristic of the madrigal tradition. Its focus on the visceral imagery of the crucifixion makes it a powerful devotional piece.
