| Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) "Longe mala, umbrae, terrores" Motet for soprano, strings and basso continuo. RV 629 Philippe Jaroussky, countertenor Ensemble Artaserse Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, Meldorf 2011-07-15 Broadcast on NDR Kultur 2011-09-04 ******* Longe mala, umbrae, terrores, sors amara, iniqua sors. Bella, plagae, irae, furores, tela et arma, aeterna mors. Recedite, nubes et fulgura, et sereno coronata fulgore coeli, sidera, coruscate, omnes animae super terram et super astra viventes, iubilate. Descende, o coeli vox, ex alto asperge nos, tolle maerorem. Resplende, o vera lux, es tu secura dux, sparge fulgorem. Alleluia. ******* Away with woes, shadows, terrors, bitter fate, unfair fate. Wars, plagues, anger, rages, weapons and armour, eternal death. Clouds and lightning be gone, and crowned with the tranquil brightness of heaven, let the stars twinkle, let every soul from the earth to the stars rejoice and be alive. Come down, voice of heaven, and wash us from on high, take away misery. Shine out, true light, you are a fearless leader, spread your light. Alleluia. |
