Laudo vinum

It is a commissioned work by the Coro Interludio of Burgos, Spain. The piece is about wine as the main theme, whose music invites to drink it in a festive moment. There is optional and free percussion along with the music. If the piece is performed at a lunch or dinner, the tables can be used as percussion.

Laudo vinum
datum ante caminum.
Aqua nolo bibere,
Sed volo bibere vinum.

Vinum bonum et suave,
nunquam bibi vinum tale,
vinum cor lætificat.

I praise the wine
given before the fireplace.
I would not like to drink water,
I would like to drink the wine.

Good, sweet wine,
I have never drunk wine like this.
Wine gladdens the heart.
