One of the truly great melodic arias sung by the title character from the 1711 opera.

  • where did you get the lyrics for that song?

  • It is included in an anthology of Handel arias called "Songs and Airs by George Frideric Handel" and was published by the Oliver Ditson Company in 1905.

  • do you use finale?

  • No, I use NoteWorthy Composer. You can download a demo version from the Internet.

  • Incredibly, hauntingly beautifully well done.

  • hard to believe you're not trained. The recording equipment you have doesn't do you justice but considering you're not trained, it's very impressive. Cara Sposa is very challenging for any countertenor. Tackling it is pretty ambitious and it's a very noteworthy effort, With better recording equipment (and less synthetic music) you would sound even better.

  • @AduneStormwind Very easy to believe he's not trained but I loved it. How could Handel not be lovely? But compared to ( eg) Philippe Jarousski??

  • Wonderful! I love this honest, sincere, loving performance. I've watched it several times and it manages to capture the huge emotion that this aria generates - it always moves me to tears. Never mind about professional judgements, I love this man because he sings that he loves music, Handel and the human race.

  • BRAVO!!!!

  • magnificent

  • How hard it is to sing this! I commend you on your rendition. I'd love to do this song myself, however, I don't know if I could sustain the higher notes. WHat is the highest note sung on this? I know I can hit a G above male High C but that is pushing for me. Gosh I wish I was 20 years younger than that wouldn't have been a problem! Alas...
