Facciansi lieti quanti by Hippolito Sabino — Lyrics
Facciansi lieti quanti, sentesti alti dolori.
Mentre banditi e discacciati fuori,
sen gran del regno de tranquill' amanti.
Ch'insieme ancor uniti.
Sentiranno piacer del vostro petto.
Pregion e Amor il capo de banditi.

About Facciansi lieti quanti
This secular Italian madrigal by Hippolito Sabino is ideal for a special celebration or festive occasion. Scored for SSATTBB voices, it sets a text that speaks of banishment and sorrow giving way to renewed joy and hope. The music reflects this emotional arc, moving from potentially darker sentiments to expressions of profound delight and fulfilled desires. The composer captures the Renaissance spirit of word-painting, allowing the voices to explore the text's themes of love, peace, and the return of happiness. It is a rich and rewarding work for an accomplished choir looking for expressive Renaissance part-music.
