Grida qual tromba by Giovanni Animuccia — Lyrics
Grida, qual tromba,
grida che fai, grida piu forte,
gl'i nimici a le porte,
con ferro e foco,
e minacciose strida.
Offeso e'l Signor buono,
deh temete'l suo zelo,
irato è Dio del Cielo,
ne vuol pur l'huomo,
e dimendar perdono.

About Grida qual tromba
Sung in Italian, this sacred motet by Giovanni Animuccia is for three voices (SST). Its text is a dramatic call to repentance, describing God's anger at sin and his enemies at the gates. The lyrics implore listeners to heed the warning, likening the cry to a trumpet blast. It speaks of God's zeal and the potential for his wrath, urging a return to his favour. The composer presents a powerful message of divine judgment and the promise of renewed peace for those who turn back from false paths, a fervent appeal for spiritual renewal.
