Dal celeste sereno by Antonio Brunelli — Lyrics
Dal celeste sereno
Mira Giove immortal se giusto siedi,
O'l mondo curi o vedi.
Il sol che senza leggi e senza freno,
Erra per camp'immensi,
Deh se giustizzia in ciel ohmai concedi.
O ragion'ò pietad'ò morte'almeno,

About Dal celeste sereno
The text of Dal celeste sereno invokes the immortal Jupiter, questioning whether he attends to the world or merely observes. It laments the sun’s unbridled journey through the heavens and pleads for justice from above, or failing that, for reason, pity, or even death. The composer Antonio Brunelli sets this dramatic Italian text for two voices, tenor and soprano. The piece belongs to the genre of secular intermedi, musical and theatrical interludes often performed between the acts of plays during the Renaissance.
