De gli amanti by Lodovico Bellanda — Lyrics
Degli amanti pensieri,
ahi che saranno i riveriti Numi,
s'un cor che si consumi,
nel foco lor deve perire à torto,
O dispietat'Arceiti che'l promesso conforto,
negasti'à dolor miei, perfidi lumi,

About De gli amanti
This setting of Italian secular verse paints a scene of tormented lovers. The text laments the cruelty of gods and fate, where a heart consumed by love may perish unjustly. The singer pleads for release from vows made in despair, warning that if their heart flees, love itself will strike them with regret. Lodovico Bellanda's piece offers a dramatic exploration of this classical theme, suitable for a tenor soloist.
