Alle gioie by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Alle gioie, Pastori,
alle gioie' a' diletti, agli amori:
ecco, che nasce Giesu Sol lucente,
di mill' Angelett' il gioir si senti:
su non dormite, Pastori,
alle gioie a diletti, agli amori.
Ecco'l Ciel risplendete;
O che notte ridente,
danzan le stele con dolci carole,
nascendo Giesu, Giesu vivo sole,
su non dormite Pastori,
alle gioie a' diletti, agli amori.

About Alle gioie
This sacred motet from the Renaissance tradition celebrates the Nativity. Its Italian text rejoices in the birth of Jesus, urging shepherds to share in the joy and love. The music is set for an SAT choir, making it suitable for smaller ensembles. The text paints a vivid picture of a joyous night, with the heavens shining and stars dancing as the infant Jesus, the 'living sun', arrives. The composer urges the choir to sing with beautiful voices, inviting the world to join in the festive celebration of this most happy and joyous birth.
