Incanto della Schiava (from 'Triaca musicale') by Giovanni Croce — Lyrics

Partimo già dall’odorato cielo Ove gl’Indiè Sabei non temono di gielo Et hor siam dov’appare Città di tanto grido Qui vi potren lasciare le ricche merci e lette Vender la schiava di beltà perfetta Poichè quest’è Vinegia Loco che’l bello e’l buon produc’è pregia. Ecco chi fa gl’incanti O voi commanditori Che volete Signori: Noi all’incanto Vendere vogliamo Una fantesca bella Non men fida ch’Ancella Ci servirete A questo pronti siamo e à chi la vuole Farem la grida come farsi suole Dunque dimanveremo E seco la fantesca conduremo Andate pur Signori A Dio Comandatori. Al dì Turti qui intorno accolti Lo grido udite e’l vanto

About Incanto della Schiava (from 'Triaca musicale')

This vibrant secular madrigal by Giovanni Croce opens with a dramatic declamation describing arrival in a bustling city, Venice, famed for its trade and beauty. The text then shifts to an imagined auction, where a beautiful slave girl is to be sold. The music reflects this scene with lively exchanges and contrasts between the six vocal parts (SSAATTB). Croce masterfully captures the excitement of the marketplace and the descriptive poetry, creating a rich and engaging texture. The Italian text celebrates the allure and commerce of Venice, culminating in the 'incanto' or auction of a peerless maid.
