About This Song

About "Serse, HWV 40, Act I Scene 10: Aria. Soggetto al mio volere (Ariodate)" by Chor Der Bayerischen Staatsoper

Ariodate’s aria declares loyal submission, 'Soggetto al mio volere' a Baroque pledge of obedience. Handel frames it with stately poise, but the harmonic turns suggest a heart wrestling with duty—calm words, uneasy undertow.
