Stefano Landi - Canta la Cicaleta, Marco Beasley, L'Arpeggiata

[gibberth]

Thanks for uploading it, is precious. My first contact with Marco Beasley, did not know him and sings with great beauty and softness. I was pleasantly surprised. Stefano Grande, like many at that time, and quite unknown.

[QuamDilecta]

English translation, verse 2: Orpheus can move pitiless Hell; / he weeps, he beggs, he sighs, / and beseeches pity with the sound of his lyre: / I weep and I beg a cruel fair, / too resistant to love. / Thus does my destiny will it. / If I could die singing, / how happy I would be.

[QuamDilecta]

English translation, verse 1: The little cicada sings / when the sun is at its most searing, / and dies singing without feeling the heat. / I sing, I live, / and yet I feel in my heart / greater heat than he. / Thus does my destiny will it. / If I could die singing, / how happy I would be.
