I had to construct the part that appears at 6' 10'' and also at 7' 49'' simply by removing the vocal melody and displaying the continuo part in a way that corresponds to the recording.

Beatiful. Very delicate and expressive. You mention about the versions of Baird and Rydén and Spägele. I suggest you to see in youtube MARILIA VARGAS.

Paulo Costa.

I'll definitely check it when I find time. I like this work a lot. Thanks for the suggestion.

And you, sorrowful eyes, you do not weep? My tears, what holds you back? Lidia, alas, I see that I am in need My idol, whom I adore so much She who remains withing cruel marble, for whom I breathe And yet I don't die? If deaht would favor me Now that I am without hope God, take away my life (I beg you) my bitter pain. But well I realize, that to torment me all the more, Fate also denies me death If it is then true, Oh God That only of my weeping Wicked destiny is thirsty

[margotlorena]

My tears, what holds you back? Why not give vent to the proud sorrow, Which takes away my breath and oppresses my heart? Lidia, whom I adore so much, Why did you give me a pitying glance, alas, The paternal severity, it has imprisoned me, Shut within two walls remains the beautiful innocent one Where a ray of sunlight may not fall, And that which sorrows me more and increases my evil torment and pain, Has, through my reason, proven my darling to be evil!

Also, that was really well done, and I love the trillos. That's my shit.

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this, but did anyone notice that the recording is in a different key than the music?

[steviesteps]

Her ornaments are fantastic!

[omarcarnaval]

Beautiful solo cantata of the early baroque...

Wonderful piece and wonderful interpretation. Does anybody know on which story the words are based. is it from the greek mystery? Thank you for an answer.

Can you post the Baird version if you have it. I had the norton anthology cd and book for one my baroque class but lost it. Loved this song the first time I heard it, it was the Baird version.

SO easy to write music in those days. A simple melodic line and the most simple harmonic indications. And the rest is up to the artists!
