Ecco'l Messia, e la madre sua Maria by Anonymous — Lyrics
Laude del Natale del Signore di
Madonna Lucretia di Medici
Ecco'l messia, ecco'l messia,
E la madre sua Maria
Venite alme celseste
Su da gli eterni chori,
Venite , e fate feste
Al signore de signori,
Vengane & non dimori
La somma Gerachia. Ecco'l Messia,
Venite Angeli santi,
E venite sonando
Venite tutti quanti,
Giesù Christo lodando
Alla gloria cantando
Con dolce melodia. Ecco'l Messia
Patriarchi venite,
Venite festaggiando
Levate via le lite,
Cavate u'ha di bando,

About Ecco'l Messia, e la madre sua Maria
This appealing Italian Christmas motet for SSA voices rejoices in the arrival of the Messiah. The text, attributed to Madonna Lucretia di Medici, is a joyous call to all of heaven and earth to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The music reflects this festive mood, with the three voices weaving together in a celebratory texture. It invites angels, patriarchs, and prophets to join in praising the Virgin Mary and her newborn son. The piece builds excitement as it urges listeners to leave aside strife and gather in praise with sweet melody, heralding the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah.
