"Pietà, Signore"
Alessandro Stradella (1643–1682)
Pietà, Signore is a religious song that serves as a plea to God for

mercy, specifically requesting deliverance from condemnation to
hell. Set in a minor key, the ominous bass melody immediately
conveys a sense of fear and guilt on the part of the singer for their
sins. The slow tempo and sustained tones in the song demand
considerable vocal stamina from the performer, and the severity of
tone is crucial to express the profound and intense sentiment
embedded in the plea for divine mercy.
"Per La Gloria D'adrorvi" from the opera Griselda

Giovanni Bononcini (1670–1747)
Per La Gloria D'adrorvi is taken from the opera Griselda, and is

sung by the character Ernesto, who is displaying his affection for
the character Almirena. The lyrics of the piece describe unrequited
love. Even though he is suffering and not receiving love in return,
the narrator remains devoted, almost to the point of being
obsessive about the eyes of his lover.
"Music for a While" from the opera Oedipus

Henry Purcell (1659–1695)
Music for a While was written during the Baroque period by Henry
Purcell as incidental music for the play Oedipus, written by John
Dryden and Nathaniel Lee. The version of the play that included
Music for a Whilepremiered in London in 1692. It is a sorrowful song
about two priests summoning and calming the ghost Alecto, a
character with snakes for hair and eyes of dripping blood.

"Le Papilllon et la Fleur" (Op. 1 No. 1)
Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924)
Le papillon et la fleur is a poem by Victor Hugo set to music by

Gabriel Fauré. The poem explores the transient nature of love and
beauty through the metaphor of a butterfly and a flower. Hugo
uses the butterfly to symbolize ephemeral aspects and the flower
to represent enduring beauty and love. The poem reflects on the
inevitability of change and the fleeting nature of emotions. Fauré's
musical composition enhances the emotional depth of Hugo's
words, creating a delicate and poignant art song that captures the
essence of the poem.
"Die Forelle" (Op. 32, D. 550)

Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Die Forelle is a German lied composed in 1817, depicting the joyful

life of a trout in a mountain stream. The narrator admires the trout's
beauty until a cunning fisherman deceives and captures it,
conveying themes of betrayal and the harshness of life. Schubert's
musical composition enhances the poem's emotions, employing a
lively piano accompaniment that captures the playful spirit of the
trout while showcasing the composer's skill in merging music and
poetry to convey profound sentiments.

"Ave Maria"
Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Ave Maria is one of his most famous compositions, originally
composed as part of his setting of Sir Walter Scott's poem "The
Lady of the Lake." The song's serene melody and reverent
atmosphere have made it a beloved piece in both religious and
secular contexts. Its soaring vocal lines and delicate piano
accompaniment create a sense of ethereal beauty and spiritual
contemplation. "Ave Maria" has been performed by countless
vocalists and instrumentalists, becoming a staple in classical music
repertoire. Its enduring popularity speaks to Schubert's mastery of
melody and his ability to capture the essence of devotion in music.
"Estrellita"
Manuel Ponce (1882–1948)
Estrellita is a romantic art song composed in 1912. The title
translates to "Little Star" in English. The song is characterized by its
gentle and lyrical melody, expressing a tender and intimate longing
for a loved one, and it has become one of Ponce's most well-known
and beloved compositions.
"Madaling Araw"
Francisco Santiago (1889–1947)
Madaling Araw is a traditional Filipino love song that uses the
metaphor of dawn to express the emotions of romantic love. The
lyrics describe the beauty of the early morning, often portraying the
freshness and joy associated with newfound love. Through
simplicity and universal themes, the song captures the sentiments
of admiration, longing, and the timeless nature of romantic
emotions.

"Un’aura amorosa" from the opera Così fan tutti
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
Un'aura amorosa is an aria from Mozart's opera "Così fan tutte,"
where the character Ferrando expresses his love for Dorabella.
Ferrando describes the tender and amorous atmosphere that
envelops him when he thinks of Dorabella, likening it to a gentle
breeze of love. The aria captures Ferrando's deep affection and
contributes to the romantic themes explored in the comedic opera.
"Homeward Bound"
Marta Keen(b. 1953)
Homeward Bound tells the story of a person who is traveling and
longing to return home. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and a
deep yearning for the familiar comforts of home. The traveler
expresses a longing for loved ones and the warmth of home, and
the song conveys themes of journey, reunion, and the emotional
significance of returning to one's roots.
