Care gioie by Claudio Saracini — Lyrics
Care gioie,
che le noie,
de sospir mandate in bando.
Quel diletto
ch'o nel petto,
scopran gl'occhi sfan allando.
Hor non finge,
hor non pinge,
con sua squadra,
falsa'e vaga.
Sono vano
quella mano,
che si dolce il sen m'inpiaga.
Bell' avorio,

About Care gioie
This aria for solo voice in Italian is a vibrant expression of love's joys and sorrows. The music likely mirrors the text's emotional journey, from the banishment of cares and the discovery of delight to the sweet pain inflicted by a beloved. Saracini's setting, as is typical of the genre, would have offered opportunities for expressive performance, allowing the singer to convey the passion and tenderness described. The text speaks of cherished pleasures, the intoxicating effect of affection, and the desire for a beloved's embrace, all framed by the classical imagery of roses and ivory. It is a piece that celebrates the complexities of romantic feeling.
