Ben staga tutta questa bella briga by Filippo Azzaiolo — Lyrics
Ben staga, tutta questa bella brigada,
che sian, che sian venu da Pava,
da Pava per cantare,
a ve dirou‘ il vira,
sian quatro fantucciati,
O dalla vill‘alla stra,
O tandarara rita ritundera,
O tandarara ritonda.
Nui sian venuti solo per honorarvi

About Ben staga tutta questa bella briga
Filippo Azzaiolo was active in the mid-16th century, a period rich in secular Italian part-music. This madrigal, Ben staga tutta questa bella briga, is written for SATB voices in Venetian dialect. The text welcomes a company of singers arriving from Padua to offer their voices in honour and supplication. It speaks of good wishes and peace for all gathered. The music would have been intended for informal entertainment, reflecting the social gatherings of the time. Azzaiolo's work captures the spirit of Renaissance part-songs, offering a lively and engaging vocal experience.
