Aure vaghe, aure gioconde by Alessandro Costantini — Lyrics
1.Aure vaghe, aure gioconde,
che volate che scherzate,
dolcemente tra le fronde deh portate
i sospir miei a costei,
che mi fugge mi s'asconde,
Aure vaghe, aure gioconde.
2.Aure voi ch'al sono a i canti,
di ruscelli,e de gl'augelli,
circondate intorno erranti deh narrate
alla mia Clori degli ardori
la gravezza de miei pianti,
Aure belle, aure volanti.

About Aure vaghe, aure gioconde
Alessandro Costantini's Aure vaghe, aure gioconde is a solo soprano aria written in Italian. The text, a secular poem, describes the singer's yearning for a beloved named Clori. The singer implores the gentle breezes to carry their sighs and laments to Clori, describing the pain of separation and the hope for a return of affection. The music aims to capture the delicate and often sorrowful sentiments expressed in the poetry, with the solo soprano voice ideally suited to convey such intimate and personal emotions. This piece would be a fitting choice for a recital program focusing on Italian Baroque or Renaissance secular vocal music, showcasing the expressive capabilities of a single voice.
