Egredimini by Alessandro Grandi — Lyrics
Egredimini filiae Sion, sponsae Dei altissimi.
Vosque omnes festinanter a virtute, filiae Jerusalem.
Et videte sponsum Christum candicum et rubicundum
ex milibus electum, in cujus thalamo sanctorum canit
numerus angelorum, exultat chorus omnium supernorum
coelestium civium, ac virtutum sane divertatur psallentium

About Egredimini
Alessandro Grandi, a composer active in the early Baroque period, wrote this sacred solo aria in Latin. The text is a paraphrase of the Song of Songs, addressing the daughters of Zion, inviting them to see Christ as their bridegroom. The music is intended for a solo medium voice, likely with instrumental accompaniment, creating an intimate and devotional atmosphere. It draws on the rich tradition of sacred music, using a biblical text to explore themes of spiritual love and divine union. The solo voice allows for expressive interpretation of the lyrical and poetic imagery within the chosen scripture.
