Deh tram'in pace by Giovanni Domenico Montella — Lyrics
Deh tram'in pace homai di tanti affanni.
VERGINE che s'appress'il fosco giorno,
E l'alma mia cacciata, e d'ogn'intorno.
Chi fia che tanti guai racconti, ò scriva;
Quanti m'affligon sempre, e mi fan guerra,
Per cui di duol cadendo il cuor si serra?
Dunque s'in tanto mal languendo vivo,
Ragion'è ben ch'io pianga, e brami morte,

About Deh tram'in pace
This sacred laude in Italian voices the lament of a soul facing death and the end of its earthly life. The text paints a scene of profound distress, where the singer is overwhelmed by suffering and longs for release through death and a blessed afterlife. The lyrics express a deep sense of helplessness and inadequacy, pleading for divine intervention from the Virgin Mary to guide the soul through its trials. The composer Giovanni Domenico Montella sets this poignant text for SSB, emphasizing the sorrowful and pleading nature of the words through his musical setting. The music reflects the desperation and fervent hope for salvation expressed in the text.
