Antonio Vivaldi
Cantata: Qual per ignoto calle, RV677
II. Aria "Quel passagier son io"

Audio only..

I would drop dead if any one has the score for this very precious piece. I really would like to sing it and hopefully record it, too..

My heartfelt thanks to Alrick54 for posting the lyrics and the translation only 2 hours after I posted this video. I knew I could count on PJ's fans:)) Thanks a lot..

Italian Text:


Quel passagier son io
che vo cercando in te,
mia bella, amore e fé,
e sol ritrovo, oh Dio,
rigore e crudeltà.

E pur costante, Irene,
bella nemica mia,
men orgogliosa e ria,
spero che di mie pene
un giorno avrai pietà

Translation:

That traveller am I,
who seek in you,
my fair one, love and constancy,
and find only, oh God,
severity and cruelty.

And yet stil faithful to you, Irene,
my lovely adversary,
I hope that one day, less haughty
and wicked, you will have
pity on my suffering.

  • Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky is an uncontested specialist of baroque music, but here he is changing course, sailing into completely new waters: the repertoire of French song. Still in evidence are the fundamental qualities of his voice: purity of line, precise execution, intelligent reading of the text. But he has also found the right tone, delicate yet unmannered, for this other musical style

  • totally awesome . I'm a big fan of him

  • @Aquilante01 Che bello!!!! Starei la vita ad ascoltare questo genio del barocco.

    MI viene in mente Leopardi che non inseguiva la bellezza femminile in senso lato, ma bramava la bellezza con la "B" maiuscola; era innamorato perso della BELLEZZA. e cercava la BELLEZZA mai lontanamente egualiata da nessuna donna, da Silvia ad Aspasia. Il primo verso di questo canto mi rimanda a queste considerazioni Leopardiane. Taf289

  • @nivique am exactly the same!!

  • amo este hombre!!

  • I've listened to this piece like a hundred times already and can't seem to get enough of it. How funny that after two years of discovery I still keep listening and there's not a lot of music can possibly do that to me nowadays. Precious music sung by a godlike-voiced countertenor, good gracious, what a perfect match.

  • Please someone have this music sheet?

  • @cuicuimusic

    Cheers :)
