SSAATBB choir a cappella (SSAATBB choir a cappella) SKU: AN.AMP-1104 Composed by Z. Randall Stroope. Octavo. Alliance Music Publications #AMP 1104. Published by Alliance Music Publications (AN.AMP-1104). Stroope.Spirto ben nato * L'amor mi prende, e la belta mi lega; La pieta, la merce con dolci sguardi Ferma speranz' al cor par che ne doni. Qual uso o qual governo al mondo neiga. Qual crudelta per tempo o qual piu tardi. C'a si bell'opra morte non perdoni? Amor, pieta, merce, cose si rare.*Spirto ben nato (text in Italian) Noble SpritLove takes me captive; beauty binds me; Pity and mercy with sweet glances Fill my heart with strong hope. What law or power in the world, What cruelty of this time or of a time to come, Could keep Death from sparingsuch a lovely face? [and beautiful soul] Love, piety, mercy, things so rare.
