Gloria all'Egitto (Triumphal scene from Aida) by Giuseppe Verdi — Lyrics
POPOLO (People)
Gloria all'Egitto e ad Iside
Che il sacro suol protegge;
Al Re che il Delta regge
Inni festosi alziam!
Vieni, o guerriero vindice,
Vieni a gioir con noi;
Sul passo degli eroi
I lauri e i fior versiam!
DONNE (Women)
S'intrecci il loto al lauro
Sul crin dei vincitori

About Gloria all'Egitto (Triumphal scene from Aida)
This powerful SATB chorus, Gloria all'Egitto, comes from the Triumphal scene in Giuseppe Verdi's opera Aida. Set to Italian lyrics, it depicts a jubilant celebration of military victory. The text expresses fervent praise to Egypt and the goddess Isis, honoring the king and welcoming the victorious warriors. It calls for garlands of laurel and flowers to be bestowed upon the heroes, and for dancing maidens to weave mystic dances. The music swells with patriotic fervor and exultant glory, making it a stirring choice for any occasion that calls for a grand, celebratory statement. Its operatic origins mean it offers a dramatic and engaging experience for both choir and audience.
