Songtexte Handel: Jephtha, HWV 70, Act 1: "Some dire event hangs o'er our heads... Scenes of horror, scenes of woe" (Storgè) - George Frideric Handel feat. Joyce DiDonato, Maxim Emelyanychev & Il Pomo D'oro
Storgè
Some dire event hangs o'er our heads,
Some woeful song we have to sing
In misery extreme. O never, never
Was my foreboding mind distrest before
With such incessant pangs.
Storgè
Scenes of horror, scenes of woe,
Rising from the shades below,
Add new terror to the night;
While in never-ceasing pain,
That attends the servile chain,
Joyless flow the hours of light.
Scenes of horror. . . da capo
