In lagrime stemprato il cor qui cade (Caldara) Maria Cristina Kiehr

"In lagrime stemprato il cor qui cade"

from the oratorio Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo (c. 1698)
by Antonio Caldara (1670-1736)

Maria Cristina Kiehr with Basel Scola Cantorum under René Jacobs

In lagrime stemprato il cor qui cade
Già s'elesse
per l'orme impresse
del tuo piè di seguir del ciel le strade.

My heart dissolves in tears, and sinks.
It has chosen here and now
to follow in Thy footsteps
the road to heaven.
