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

10. Metastasio (pour album)
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Sogna il guerrier le schiere,
Le selve il cacciator;
E sogna il pescator 
Le reti e l'amo.

Sopito in dolce obblio,
Sogno pur io così
Colei, che tutto il dì
sospiro e chiamo.

11. Brindisi

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Del fanciullo il primo canto
è la voce del dolore,
cresce al mondo e cresce intanto
all'affanno ed al sofrir.

Si, di abando e dai pensieri
del buon vino si tracanni,
passerem felici gli anni
in questa valle di miserie piena.

D'una poco giovinezza
poco dura il suo fiorire,
tosto viene la vecchiezza
vien la morte a far cùcù.

Viva Antonio, il grande il forte, gran patricia
del buon vino ei pur tracanni,
passerem felici gli anni
in questa valle di miserie piena.
