"Or che il dover – Tali e cotanti sono", K. 36, is a concert aria in D major for tenor and orchestra by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

History

The aria was written in late 1766 in Salzburg when Mozart was ten years old. The author of the lyrics is unknown. It was the first composition by Mozart since his family's return to Salzburg, and was first performed on 21 December 1766 as part of an entertainment marking the anniversary of the consecration of Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach.[1]{{Dead link|date=August 2016}}

Instrumentation

The work is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, strings and tenor.

Libretto

Or che il dover m'astringe,

In scelte e corte rime

Grato mostrarmi a qual onor sublime,

Di cui ci ricolmaste, o prence eccelso,

Ne' miei pensieri immerso

Ricerco un buon concetto.

Rumino colla mente,

Penso, ripenso, e poi non trovo niente.

Febo e le Muse in mio soccorso imploro;

Compariscono tutte a me dinanzi,

Confuse in volto e colle cetre infrante.

D'un simile scompiglio

Le chiedo la ragion, tacer le miro,

E dopo mille al più sospir cocenti

Una così ripose:

Riverendo pastor, t'accheta, e in simil

Giorno non obbligarci a dire il nostro

Scorno; sulle rive della Salza ogni

Nostro potere, ogni saper fu crine

Da quella luce onde il suo prence è cinto.

Tali e contanti sono

Di Sigismondo i merti,

Che i nostri ingegni incerti,

Non sanno qual riverendo cor.

Se la pietà si canta;

La giustizia non cede,

Ch'ogni virtù, riverendo,

Siede in trono suo cor.

Now that duty compels me,

in select and brief verses,

to show my gratitude for that eminent honour

with which you have overwhelmed us, august prince,

I delve deep into my thoughts

for an inspiration.

I rack my brains,

consider, reflect, but find nothing

I involve Phoebus and the muses to my aid;

they all appear before me

shamefaced and with broken lyres.

I ask the reason

for such confusion, and see them mute;

and after a thousand or so bruning sighs

one thus replies:

Revered shepard, be appeased, and on such a day

do not force us to confess our shame.

On the banks of the Salzach,

all our power, all our wisdom was as nothing

to that light with which your prince is surrounded.

So great and so many

are Sigismund's merits

that our paltry minds

cannot know that illustrious heart.

If this compassion is hymned,

it is not at the expense of his justice,

for every virtue, Excellency,

is enthroned in your heart.{{Clear|left}}
