La Passeggiata by Gioachino Rossini — Lyrics
Finché sereno è il cielo
limpida e cheta l’onda,
voghiam di sponda in sponda,
amor ne guiderà.
Al flutto, all’aura, ai fiori
noi parlerem d’amor
e il palpito del core
per lor risponderà.
Ma ciel! già fischia il vento,
s’increspa la laguna

About La Passeggiata
La Passeggiata paints a charming scene of a leisurely boat trip on a serene lagoon. Initially, the text expresses delight in the clear skies and calm waters, with love as the guide, speaking to the elements. However, a sudden shift in weather brings a moment of alarm as the wind whistles and the lagoon becomes choppy. This fleeting fear is quickly dispelled as the moon appears, revealing the earlier trepidation to have been unfounded. The mood returns to one of joy and celebration, inviting a return to singing and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings. This secular Italian part-song for SATB voices captures this delightful emotional journey.
