Gode la terra by Giovanni Croce — Lyrics
Gode la terra e'l ciel e gli elementi
e ride d'ogn'intorno
di si felice giorno
e di gioia e d'Amor tutti e contenti.
Gode Clorinda e il suo bel Tirsi ancora
e canti gli angeletti

About Gode la terra
A joyful celebration of love and nature, Gode la terra is a charming Italian canzonetta from the late Renaissance. Its text speaks of the earth, sky, and elements rejoicing, with Clorinda and Tirsi also finding happiness and singing of their delights. The music reflects this exuberant mood, capturing the contentment and sweet pleasure of the day. This setting for treble soloists (SSB) allows for intimate and expressive delivery of the delightful verses. Giovanni Croce's canzonetta offers a delightful glimpse into the lighter, secular part-music of the era, perfect for a moment of pure, unadulterated musical happiness.
