Ecco nata hor hor la Rosa by Abundio Antonelli — Lyrics
1.Ecco nata hor hor la Rosa
nel bel prato coronato,
di verd'herba, ruggiadosa,
sul matin tutto ridente,
Con l'aurora, che s'infiora,
fa l'entra ta in Oriente.
2.Ogn'altr'herb'à lei s'inchina
ogn'odore e colore,
Riconosce sua Reina,
ella in tanto superbetta,
porporeggia, tiranneggia,
ogni giglio,e violetta.

About Ecco nata hor hor la Rosa
This charming Italian secular aria for two sopranos, Ecco nata hor hor la Rosa, paints a vivid picture of a rose blooming in a dew-kissed meadow at dawn. The text describes how other flowers bow to its beauty, acknowledging it as their queen. Its proud display is guarded by sharp thorns, and the gentle morning breeze, the 'little child' of the day, seems to admire its unfolding petals. The music would suit a celebratory occasion, perhaps marking the arrival of spring or a special moment of beauty, with the two soprano voices weaving together to capture the delicate imagery and regal presence of the rose.
