Ecco pur vinti by Enrico Radesca — Lyrics
Ecco pur vinti quelli,
ch'enceladi superbi al regno mio,
mossero l'armi di pensier rubelli:
Provin' hor come fulmina possente,
irato nume osseso,
e dolce sguardo acceso

About Ecco pur vinti
This delightful Italian madrigal for two voices, soprano and bass, by Enrico Radesca, offers a vibrant portrayal of love's triumph. The text presents a powerful declaration by Love, having overcome proud enemies. It then turns to address the beloved, invoking their 'sweet gaze' and 'ardent ray' as the source of Love's ultimate power. The composer masterfully uses the two voices to create a dynamic interplay, mirroring the text's dramatic declarations and tender appeals. Ideal for a chamber choir seeking a charming and expressive Renaissance work, Ecco pur vinti showcases the sophisticated vocal writing characteristic of the period, celebrating the enduring strength of affection.
