the meaning of the evaporating and suffering soul. After the vocal
line has been present, the piano melody returns to an octave lower.
Towards the end of this piece, the piano melody returns back with
playing octaves in vocal line faitedespoir which to emphasize
how vanish and suffer the soul is.
Fidelio (op. 72) is Beethovens only opera, and the third version is
the one commonly performed today.
This aria is sung by Marzelline, the daughter of the jail guard
Rocco, who has fallen in love with Fidelio, a servant in her house.
She is unaware that Fidelio is actually Leonard in disguise, the
wife of the political prisoner Florestan. The opera opens with
Roccos assistant Jacquino proposing marriage to Marzelline, but
she refuses him, and when he leaves, she sings of her love to
Fidelio.
III. With the Same Hearts, I Said, Ill Answer Thee from
SonnetsfromthePortuguese
by Libby Larsen (b. 1950)
It is the third piece from this cycle. The poet has now chosen to
respond to her lover as freely as she does to those in her own
family. She differentiates her childhood response to her
overbearing father and to the present response to her lover. In
childhood, her smile was feigned and in obedience, but when she
became an adult, her response is with a willing heart and release
from solitude.
