Amor Vittorioso by Giovanni Gastoldi — Lyrics
Tutti venite armati
O forte miei soldati.
Fa la la
Io son l'invitt'Amore
Giusto saettatore.
Non temete punto,
Ma in bella schiera uniti,
Me seguitate arditi.
Fa la la
Sembrano forti heroi
Quei che son contra voi.
Fa la la
Ma da chi sa ferire,
Non si sapran schermire.
Non temete punto,
Ma coraggiosi e forti,
Siat' a la pugna accorti.
Fa la la

About Amor Vittorioso
Giovanni Gastoldi's Amor Vittorioso is a joyful and energetic secular madrigal for SSATB voices. The music bubbles with activity, reflecting the text's martial imagery. Set in Italian, the lyrics proclaim love's victory over all who oppose it, urging the singers to be brave soldiers following a 'just archer'. The text encourages boldness, promising glory and certain victory against any who stand in the way. Gastoldi's writing is characterised by its clarity and its engaging 'fa la la' refrains, making this a vibrant and spirited choice for an accomplished choir.
