Felice sei Trevigi by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Felice sei Trevigi
Poi che in te sol si vede
D'ogni rara virtude il vero herede.
Mira della sua fama i bei vestigi
E vedrai come ogni alma
D'ogni grazie e valor li dona il vanto
E l'honorata palma.

About Felice sei Trevigi
Cipriano de Rore was one of the most celebrated composers of the mid-16th century, a master of the Italian madrigal. This secular setting for SATB voices showcases his skill in musically portraying poetic texts. The lyrics, in Italian, praise the city of Treviso and its noble inhabitant, Giovan Francesco, described as a 'divine freedom' and the 'flower' of virtue. Rore captures the celebratory spirit of the text, with the music reflecting the text's unfolding praise and ultimately its joyful acclamation. This madrigal is a fine example of Renaissance part-music, where intricate vocal lines blend to create rich harmonic textures.
