Hor su ciascun s'appresti by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
2. Hor su ciascun s'appresti
Trovisi poi doman'in questo loco,
A levata di sole,
Chiami gli amici e chiam'i suoi vicini.
Ognun venga provisto
Con sue arm'e suoi cani,
E da lev'e da presa'l piu che puote.

About Hor su ciascun s'appresti
This secular Italian madrigal for SATB voices vividly paints a scene of imminent action. The text calls for preparation, urging everyone to gather at sunrise with friends and neighbours, equipped with arms and dogs. It speaks of a hunt and the pursuit of 'wolf cubs', promising vengeance and release from trouble. The music likely reflects this urgent, communal spirit, with dynamic interplay between the four voice parts to convey the narrative's drama and the singers' determination.
