Coro delle vergini da "Ifigonia in Culide"

This extract from Michele Novaro's opera 'Ifigonia in Culide' is a striking secular chorus for SATB voices. Sung in Italian, the text is a bold and explicit declaration by a group of women celebrating their sexual prowess. It uses vivid, colloquial language to describe their skills in intimate acts, contrasting their perceived 'brokenness' with their 'soundness' and boasting of the pleasure they provide. The music would likely reflect this audacious and humorous spirit, making it a potentially provocative and memorable addition to a choral program.
