Il Tedesco (Viva, viva Bacco ognor) by Giovanni Gastoldi — Lyrics
Viva, viva Bacco ognor
Col suo dolce e buon licor
Beviam tutti chè nel ber
Si rallegr’il cor davver:
Che tardiamo a bever mò?
Brindes, brindes iò iò iò.

About Il Tedesco (Viva, viva Bacco ognor)
Giovanni Gastoldi was a significant composer of the late Renaissance, known for his ballets and madrigals. This secular Italian work, Il Tedesco (Viva, viva Bacco ognor), is a lively setting for TTB voices. The text joyfully celebrates Bacchus, the god of wine, urging everyone to drink and be merry. It praises the inventor of this delightful liquor and encourages a spirited, communal toast. The music likely reflects the exuberance of the lyrics, making it an engaging choice for a choir looking for spirited Italian part-music from the period.
