Buon dì e buon anno by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
Buon dì e buon anno!
O felice ritorno
Di così lieto giorno,
Nov'anno e novo mese,
A voi signor cortese,
Sia principio di pace e d'allegrezza!
In tanto, con dolcezza,
Le nostre voci sempre canteranno:
«Buon dì e buon anno!»

About Buon dì e buon anno
Orazio Vecchi was a prolific composer of madrigals and sacred music in late 16th- and early 17th-century Italy. Buon dì e buon anno is a secular Italian madrigal for double choir (SSAT, SSTB), celebrating the New Year. The text expresses warm wishes for a happy return of the day, a new year, and a new month, praying for peace and joy. The singers offer their voices to the esteemed recipient, wishing them a flourishing life filled with honour and favour. The sentiment is one of heartfelt celebration and good wishes, reflecting the social customs of the time.
