Alma Del Core Meghan Maguire
Alma Del Core • Composer: Antonio Caldara • Written in Italian • Written in approximately 1710
Antonio Caldara • Born in Venice in 1670 and the son of a violinist • He’s remembered for his operas • Died in 1736 in Vienna • Today manuscripts of his work are still spread throughout Europe • His compositions are unknown to performers and not studied by scholars
Text (Italian) • Alma del core, • Spirtodell'alma, • Semprecostantet'adorerò! • Saròcontento • Nelmiotormento • Se quelbellabbrobaciarpotrò. • Dolce mia vita, • Cor del mioseno, • Semprequest'almat'adorerà. • Al tuosplendore • Questomio core • Cliziafedeles'aggirerà.
Text (English) • Soul of my heart, • Spirit of my soul, • Always constantly will I adore you! • I will be contented • In my torment • If only I could kiss that beautiful lip. • Sweet is my life, • Heart of my breast, • Always this soul will I adore. • To your splendor • This my heart • Clizia faithful will go around.
I like this piece because… • The fact that it’s in Italian shows how much work the performer put in to memorize the piece and understand it to add emotion to it • The lyrics have a deep meaning • It seems like a challenge
