Glorioso immortal, chiaro e felice by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
Glorioso immortal, chiaro e felice,
Che non scriva di voi spirto non sia,
Donna degna di Regn'e Monarchia,
De l'aurea nostr'età vera Fenice.
Scenda dal ciel, chi gia tols'Euridice,
Da gl'abissi e con piu dolc'armonia,
Canti le lodi e la virtù natia,
Del famos'Apenino a la radice.

About Glorioso immortal, chiaro e felice
Orazio Vecchi's Glorioso immortal, chiaro e felice is a secular Italian madrigal for SATTB voices. The music opens with a joyful, energetic quality, celebrating an immortal, glorious, and happy subject described as a phoenix of our age and worthy of a kingdom. The text paints a picture of a land where nymphs and shepherds rejoice, and the Arno river flows proudly between its banks. Vecchi crafts a vibrant and celebratory piece, ideal for an accomplished choir seeking to explore the rich expressive possibilities of the Renaissance madrigal. The intricate interplay of the five voice parts creates a rich and engaging sonic landscape, reflecting the poem's festive and elevated mood.
