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

Fa una canzona
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Fa una canzona senza note nere
Se mai bramasti la mia grazia havere
Falla d'un tuo nó ch'invita al dormire
Dolcemente, dolcement facendola finire.

Per entro non vi spargere durezze
Che le mie orecchie non vi sono avezze
Falla d'un tuo nó ch'invita al dormire
Dolcemente, dolcement facendola finire.

Ne vi far cifra o segno contra segno
Sopra ogni cosa quest'è'l mio disegno
Falla d'un tuo nó ch'invita al dormire
Dolcemente, dolcement facendola finire.

Con questo stile il fortunato Orfeo
Proserpina la giù placar poteo,
Questo è lo stile che quetar già feo
Con dolcezza a Saul lo spirto reo!
