Pietà, Signore
Anonymous (attributed to Alessandro Stradella, 1639-1682)
Pietà, Signore is a religious song, and a plea to the Almighty God for mercy. “Almighty God, never let me be condemned to hell, in the eternal fire, by your severity.” Set in a minor key, with ominous bass melody opening the song, we get the jist right away. The singer is scared, and must be feeling extremely guilty for sins he or she has committed against God. The slow tempo and long tones of this song require great stamina on the part of the singer. A severity of tone must also be used to express the sentiment of this profound song.
