About This Song
About "Scarlatti, A: Ombre tacite e sole: IV. Aria. "Allor d’intorno a te"" by Artaserse
Scarlatti's 'Allor d’intorno a te' finds the solo voice tracing a sinuous line through silent shadows. Artaserse conjures a nocturnal scene where love and solitude entwine, the music's gentle sway belying a quiet ache—a solitary flame flickering against the encroaching dark.
