''Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo'' is a song cycle composed by Benjamin Britten (191376) for tenor voice and piano in 1940, and published as his Op. 22. It was written for himself and his life-partner, the tenor Peter Pears (191086). The manuscripts of the songs are dated between April and October 1940; but there is some evidence that the cycle had been contemplated, and even begun, as early as 1937.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo )〕 It consists of settings of seven sonnets, all love songs, by the Italian painter and poet Michelangelo (14751564), in the original language:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo )〕 # XVI: "''Si come nella penna e nell'inchiostro''" ("Just as in pen and ink") # XXI: "''A che più debb'io mai l'intensa voglia''" ("To what purpose do I express my intense desire") # XXX: "''Veggio co' bei vostri occhi un dolce lume''" ("I see through your lovely eyes a sweet light") # LV: "''Tu sa, ch'io so, signor mie, che tu sai''" ("You know that I know, my lord, that you know") # XXXVIII: "''Rendete agli occhi miei, o fonte o fiume''" ("Give back to my eyes, o fountains and rivers") # XXXII: "''S'un casto amor, s'una pietà superna''" ("If there is a chaste love, a heavenly pity") # XXIV: "''Spirto ben nato, in cui si specchia e vede''" ("Noble spirit, in whom is reflected") In 1974, Pears singled out ''Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo'' as one of the greatest works Britten had given him.〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
