Nel our ardor della più bella stella
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG
Nel pur ardor della più bella stella Aurea facella di bel foc’accendi E qui discendi su l’aurante piume, Giocondo nume, e di celeste fiamma L’anime infiamma. Lieto Imeneo, d’alta dolcezza un nembo Trabocca in grembo a fortunati amanti E tra bei canti di soavi amori Sveglia nei cori una dolce aura, un riso Di paradiso.
Notes: The score for the opera (Le Musiche sopra l’Euridice, Florence: Marscotti, 1600) is reproduced in a facsimile edition (Rome: Reale Accademia d’Italia, 1934).
