Ich bring meim Herrn ein volles Glas
ex bona charitate
Er setzt das gleslein an den mund,
Er trancks heraus bis auff den grund,

About Fertur in conviviis
Johannes Eccard’s Fertur in conviviis is a delightful secular consort song, perfect for a festive occasion. The text, which combines German and Latin, paints a vivid picture of a convivial gathering where toasts are made and shared. The music likely reflects the convivial atmosphere, with the SAATB voicing providing a rich texture for this Renaissance part-song. It is a charming example of music for social gatherings from the period, designed to be enjoyed amongst friends and colleagues. The interplay between the vocal lines would have added to the merriment, making it an engaging piece for both singers and listeners alike.
