New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

by Francesco Petrarca (1304 - 1374)

L'aura gentil, che rasserena i poggi
Language: Italian (Italiano)

L'aura gentil, che rasserena i poggi
destando i fior' per questo ombroso bosco,
al soave suo spirto riconosco,
per cui conven che 'n pena e 'n fama poggi.

5Per ritrovar ove 'l cor lasso appoggi,
fuggo dal mi' natio dolce aere tosco;
per far lume al penser torbido et fosco,
cerco 'l mio sole et spero vederlo oggi.

Nel qual provo dolcezze tante et tali
10ch'Amor per forza a lui mi riconduce;
poi sí m'abbaglia che 'l fuggir m'è tardo.

I' chiedrei a scampar, non arme, anzi ali;
ma perir mi dà 'l ciel per questa luce,
ché da lunge mi struggo et da presso ardo.
