Hoggi Signor by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Hoggi Signor non con molto oro ed ostro
Ma con duo picciol pesci e cinque pani
Ch'accrebbersi ne le tue sacre mani
Mostri aggrandirsi in te tutto il ben nostro
Ne per fe che ne faccia il sacro inchiostro
Dispensa l'huom de beni suoi profani
Per rigoderli poi sacri e soprani
Moltiplicati ne l'empireo chiostro.

About Hoggi Signor
Philippe de Monte's Hoggi Signor is a sacred madrigal for SATTB voices, sung in Italian. The text reflects on the miracle of the loaves and fishes, contrasting earthly wealth with divine abundance. It suggests that true riches lie not in material possessions but in faith and devotion, which are multiplied by God's grace. The composer emphasizes that humanity's greedy hoarding of worldly goods is a futile endeavor when compared to the boundless generosity of the divine. The music likely mirrors the text's contemplative and devotional themes, offering a rich polyphonic setting for this reflection on faith and spiritual wealth.
