A common mistake that is made by people who sing this song is the interpretation that the lyrics are sad. They're not! It is much more effective when the singer portrays the character as a sassy woman who doesn't feel like committing to anyone. If you know what the poem in this song means, think about it that way. :)
I used to sing this in an Italian restaurant- I would tell my customers it is about a slut having her fun with a poor boy. People like scandal. It was my most requested tune.
Italian teenage girls were often taught this song by mothers, partlyfor the sheer joy of singing but also because the words contain a kind of advice or message for young teens as they approach womanhood, courting, love etc and men paying attention to them. The message, basically, is that you don't have to love a young man simply because he fancies you. Justbecause you happen to like one particular beautiful male flower doesn't mean you have to dismiss all the rest of the masculine flowers... It's actually a female flirtatious song, with a bit of a cruel sting in it, warning young suitors to beware because the girl singing this song, in the first person, is desired by many and so she is under no obligation to love you in return, just because you have feelings for her. Actually, it is subtly derogatory because she is singing her song to a young shepherd who is in love with herand basicay saying that, if he thinks sheshould love him back, simply because he loves her, then he must be a very gullible fool, an absolute sucker for pain and emotional misery and she feels sorry for him. Italian society has no need for finism because, even when this old song was composed, it was a very matriarchal society, where women call the shots inlove, but the guys can always try their luck and, maybe, someone might accept them as their lover. But, I suspect thelady inthis song was hoping to do better than a humble shepherd, for a suitor.... Maybe she was a gold digger? But most likely, just young and flitatious and wanting to sample love's smorgasbord of suitors.
@@rainashay It would be great for a flirty pretty female who could put on all the flirty airs and graces.... Preferably blonde and sexy, showing a bit of cleavage, with long skirt, heaps of frills and lace and waving a fan... The kind a woman holds in her hand, not her fanny, though...
Today RUclips banned in Turkey by authoterian prime minister but no matter what they do they cant prevent us from listening these great musics and share the same values with the world. This is the first song after I changed my VPN and access to youtube.... Greetings from Istanbul with hope of freedome for all of us
I do indeed hope you get your freedom friend. Maybe one day it won't be like this. Oppressive and destructive. Maybe one day freedom will be everywhere.
my classmate and i share a vocal coach; i’m a soprano and she’s a mezzo. she’s going to sing this for her abrsm g8 exam, and i heard her sing this today and fell in love with the song; it’s so beautiful.
I sang this for a performance in high school. I am 54 years old now and it's funny how I still remain the lyrics. Beautiful song. I wish I could go back for just a moment. This really takes me back. ❤
Se tu m'ami, se tu sospiri Sol per me, gentil pastor, Ho dolor de' tuoi martiri, Ho diletto del tuo amor, Ma se pensi che soletto Io ti debba riamar, Pastorello, sei soggetto Facilmente a t'ingannar, Pastorello, sei soggetto Facilmente a t'ingannar, Facilmente a t'ingannar.

I started singing classes (clasical) and my teacher told me this will be my first aria :D this is a very bautiful song, and Cecilia Bartoli is an amazing soprano!
My mother has a cd with this track on it and I remember setting the table while she was preparing dinner if we had guests over. I’d feel like a little ballerina setting the table and I feel I’ll always have beautiful memories listening to this song
I'm learning this with my vocal coach as an introduction to classical. I definitely don't sound as beautiful as Cecilia Bartoli but I'm getting there!!
kinddove That's good! Classical is very fun to do, I've been learning classical for a few years and I quite enjoy it. Have fun and best of luck to you with this song
@@singhsinga4592 she's not even slightly ingolata? As a genuine question, at what point was she throaty? Perhaps I missed it because I'm so in love with her voice...
TheGkizz in my opinion, they are interpreting her voice type as a vocal technique. She is a deeper mezzo, probably even could be an alto. To an untrained ear that sounds throaty, she just has thicker vocal folds.
These amazements are precious and fleeting. Cecilia has been the best new soprano ever since the '90's. She has been the voice of a gorgeous farfalla, He skill set has brought tears and wellings to heaven in the very fibers of millions of we mortals. We can express our gratitude; we can never express our profound appreciation that she has come forth to share this amazing voice.
WOW! I had this song in my head today and had to look it up. So glad I did. It was one of my assigned pieces whne I was a vocal student '(85-'89) Internet access is so much better than having to sit in the music dept library and listen to a vinyl album. Good times :-)
Have to sing this for my audition for the Southern Region Music Festival. I'm hoping I'll get a high enough score to qualify for all state too. It's really a beautiful song.
Brava , e una voce bellisima con un tosto celestiale. Per Cecilia Bartoli e una voce di qualita storica, grazie tanti Cecilia per il tuo canto per tutti noi, BRAVAA!!!!
Cecilia Bartoli and Georg Fischer partnership resulted in this elegant rendition. I'm sure that this released lots of endorphins in our brains. Thanks for posting this gem.
without doubt my absolute favorite of Cecilia Bartoli. The CD where this track is listed on is also my number 1, 2, and 3 of Bartoli. The other CD's are great, really great, but this one jumps out (for me, personally) so high.... It can get me to tears nearly everytime I listen to it.
I love this song and am learning it as I am a mezzo sop but can hit the high G rarely used in music, which could be used in a beautiful cadenza in this song. Love cecilia
This was my audition song for Districit Choir a couple years ago. Such a pretty song!! I might be the weirdest 18 year old ever cuz I'm from Missouri and I'm in love with opera and ballet :)
A music teacher of mine many moons ago told me that a great singer doesn't make things happen, they let them happen. A great singer will always make it look easy!
Parisotti attributed the song "Se tu m'ami" to Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, but owing to the fact that no early manuscripts of this song have been located, scholars now believe that Parisotti composed the piece himself. The text for the song was taken from a collection called "Di canzonette e di cantate librue due" by Paolo Rolli, published in London in 1727.[1] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Parisotti
I did this my junior year of HS in 1994, for solo and ensemble contest (received a superior rating) and then the next year for college auditions. I remember it being challenging but I finally got it wit a lot of practicing.
I wish she wouldn't close her eyes when she sings. Gorgeous artist. A simple pure song made complex and then simple again. Not easy to do, especially for someone who sings much more complicated songs most of the time.
0:31 The opening notes: C - D♭- B♭- B♭- C - A♭ are the same of Coldplay, Joe Satriani, Cat Stevens, Alizée, Verdes etc. Each of them has its own variation. They all give the same feeling: when you can tell if the first chord of the phrase is a major or a minor.
I love singing this song. Cecilia was my inspiration, as soon as I heard it I had to sing it! I love singing opera and this i believe might be my favorite :)
It is definitely one of my favorites! It was the first Italian Art Song I ever learned in 1990. I went on to get a Bachelors and Masters in Voice. I was HOOKED! Best decision ever!
Emanuel Mallory Because it's beautiful. Beauty can overwhelm the senses and cause one to cry. It's just a thing that happens, and that's the true beauty of art my friend.
@@annasophia2826 no she isn't.. and they're not morbid. She's saying she's very touched by him saying he loves her, and that's very nice, but he mustn't assume that he's the only one for her and she's still going to go out with other men too.
heyhaila09, I'm also learning this song with my voice teacher. I'm so nervous because I'm learning this song as one of my three songs I must perform for an audition to CALARTS, the private performing arts university in Valencia, California. As you said, Cecilia is brilliant as a colortura soprano and I hope I can sing as she does too. She sings with such expression and grace that I wish I can sing as carefree as she does.
Sang this for a competition about 5 years ago... was a fun piece to learn, but a bit hard to go from super low to super high. Great that the girl (who the piece is "narrated by", NOT THE PERFORMER), was a flirty/player girl. That made it even more fun! :D
As someone who tends to procrastinate, I didn't watch this until after I mostly memorized it and did it in class. Watching it now, I realized I folded my hands when I did this today in class the same way she did! Is that a good thing? Cuz when I realized I was folding my hands that way halfway through the song, I awkwardly dropped my hands to my side cuz I wasn't sure if that was okay to do. Now I see I should've kept my hands folded like she did. (...right?)
What she's doing is a variation of the "Austrian tug," which helps to keep the rib cage high when singing. It's also great for singers who don't know what to do with their hands (as frequently happens with me, too!).
wow, never knew that! thank you. yeah, it helps to figure things out beforehand especially when i want to convey the feelings of this song and hand motions usually help out with that when i understand the meaning well enough.
That's perfectly fine as long as you are understanding what you're talking about and you make that decision consciously because it's a seduction song and being timid may not work 100% of the time
A common mistake that is made by people who sing this song is the interpretation that the lyrics are sad. They're not!

I agree it should be flirty and playful not solemn. The dark gloomy lighting here doesn't help much either but I guess it was part of a recital.

Yunus Nadi Erdal give cyprus back, asses
This guy is beautiful.
Yunus Nadi Erdal this is not true. Please stop presenting yourself as a middle east country !!
my voice instructor is teaching this to me... I'm so excited to sing it, its such a beautiful piece~
same
I've just started learning it, she told me not to bother with the Italian for now... Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah 😆
I learned that song before this one!!! Weird right? 😅
***** Its funny, my voice teacher taught that one to my friend (we take lessons under the same person) it was really pretty ^^
Caro Mio Ben is used all around the globe as an introduction to classical singing, it was my first song too :)
Britney.( my voice teacher) If your reading this. Yeah I can't do this.
keady rascona omg meeee I don’t know how I’m gonna do this
lmfao
Omg hahahahhahah
SAME LMAO
Got told by my teacher to sing this too, I'm a tenor so it's not so hard in the singing part.. just the notes! Such s beautiful piece too
my classmate and i share a vocal coach; i’m a soprano and she’s a mezzo. she’s going to sing this for her abrsm g8 exam, and i heard her sing this today and fell in love with the song; it’s so beautiful.

Same! I sang it in college and had so much fun hearing it again!
This is, if not the most perfect performance if this, one of the very best. This singer. Wow
This was my practice piece as a soprano voice student. Brings back so many memories. Flawless this performance.
Se tu m'ami, se tu sospiri
Sol per me, gentil pastor,
Ho dolor de' tuoi martiri,
Ho diletto del tuo amor,
Ma se pensi che soletto
Io ti debba riamar,
Pastorello, sei soggetto
Facilmente a t'ingannar,
Pastorello, sei soggetto
Facilmente a t'ingannar,
Facilmente a t'ingannar.
Bella rosa porporina
Oggi Silvia sceglierà,
Con la scusa della spina
Doman poi la sprezzerà,
Doman poi la sprezzerà.
Ma degli uomini il consiglio
Io per me non seguirò.
Non perché mi piace il giglio
Gli altri fiori sprezzerò.
Se tu m'ami, se tu sospiri
Sol per me, gentil pastor,
Ho dolor de' tuoi martiri,
Ho diletto del tuo amor,
Ma se pensi che soletto
Io ti debba riamar,
Pastorello, sei soggetto
Facilmente a t'ingannar,
Pastorello, sei soggetto
Facilmente a t'ingannar,
Facilmente a t'ingannar.
Divina Cecilia bartoli
Thank you!
I like her utterly frivolous, whimsical reason for discarding the rose flower she had previously chosen...Because it has thorns...
You are my lord and savior
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I started singing classes (clasical) and my teacher told me this will be my first aria :D this is a very bautiful song, and Cecilia Bartoli is an amazing soprano!
she is a mezzo-soprano :)
carolina radiolina I see, I could tell her voice was different, but didn't really know! Thanks for the info :)
Perla Manrique
** She is a fabulous angel!!!!
This will be my first aria too, 8 years after this comment. I think it will be really fun to work on it.

Please do not sound like her! Much too throaty for my taste. Above all you should sound like you, who else?
@@singhsinga4592 she's not even slightly ingolata? As a genuine question, at what point was she throaty? Perhaps I missed it because I'm so in love with her voice...

Who fucking cares
Did you get in?
@@tiannamiller2403 stfu you're probably some jealous kid
Eugh, it hurts my face how perfect she is!!!!!
Love her. I sang this arietta for my HSC.
Eugh is spelled ugh genius
Im singing this piece for my university. Just started learning it and i love the way the notes flow.
She looks so beautiful here. And I love the song.
I love Cecilia Bartoli...she can easily make me cry every time she sings.....
I love too
Fantastic fantastic.. just fantastic.. I feel I can't have any words to describe my feeling for her.. singing.
Brava , e una voce bellisima con un tosto celestiale. Per Cecilia Bartoli e una voce di qualita storica, grazie tanti Cecilia per il tuo canto per tutti noi, BRAVAA!!!!
Cecilia Bartoli!Grazie per I momenti magici che mi offre la sua voce e le belle canzoni. E tanti auguri per le sue opere musicale!
Lovely! How I admire opera singers, beautiful work here.
Cecilia Bartoli and Georg Fischer partnership resulted in this elegant rendition. I'm sure that this released lots of endorphins in our brains. Thanks for posting this gem.
Beautiful and humble. Brings to mind the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!.
Schöne Stimme , viel Gefühl , bravo Cecilia!
So wunderschöne
Amazing. Brilliant and everything that's good!

Bella, bellissima interpretazione. Ascoltandoti cantare questa canzone sento il desiderio di innamorarmi ancora una volta ... Brava!!!
Thank You for this wonderful and charmingly musical performance! 🌹🌹🌹
So excited to take this piece to district and state festival! Such a beautiful and rich tone😍
Grazie ancora per la sua magica voce e per la sua dolcezza!
Amazing song. Amazing voice.
I love this song and am learning it as I am a mezzo sop but can hit the high G rarely used in music, which could be used in a beautiful cadenza in this song. Love cecilia
I am in love with this performance!
My eight year old grandniece has learned this. Her italian is very good, and her intonation is perfect!
This was my audition song for Districit Choir a couple years ago. Such a pretty song!! I might be the weirdest 18 year old ever cuz I'm from Missouri and I'm in love with opera and ballet :)
Fellow MO! Learning this now and I’m so excited
Beautiful song!
She makes every piece fresh.
Ugh always so superb! I wanted it to go on longer
So beautiful.
A music teacher of mine many moons ago told me that a great singer doesn't make things happen, they let them happen. A great singer will always make it look easy!
Great performance. This wasn't composed by Pergolesi, however. It was written by Alessandro Perisotti sometime during the mid/late 19th century.
Branch Freeman I think the version she’s singing was composed by Pergolesi because that’s the one I’m doing
i have the music sheets at home and it says written by pergolesi :D

No one could have a more beautiful voice!
Perfect performance! My congratulations!
No hay nada en le mundo mejor que la vosssss !
I looooove this song so much!!!
This is awesome! I adore this song.
It's seems so easy for her.....gahhhhh it's gorgeous
I did this my junior year of HS in 1994, for solo and ensemble contest (received a superior rating) and then the next year for college auditions. I remember it being challenging but I finally got it wit a lot of practicing.
I have loved this song for years. Well done.
This always makes me want to cry when I hear this.....absolutely moving piece.
Wonderful! In case you didn't know. She is singing from the good old 24 Italian book which is a step lower that the 26 Italian med. high book
Cecilia really sings very very well!!! : D appreciate her so much!
J'adore cette chanson !Merci !
Incredible voice! Such passion and emotion. Beautiful.
I just love you... Beautiful voice and sheere perfection in rendition. THANK YOU!!!
I wish she wouldn't close her eyes when she sings. Gorgeous artist. A simple pure song made complex and then simple again. Not easy to do, especially for someone who sings much more complicated songs most of the time.
Grazie x esserci grande Cecilia bartoli la tua voce e il massimo della potenza .sei l,orgoglio di tutti noi ascoltati e il massimo del piacere
So beautiful !!!!
this video is underrated. This is beautiful

i sang this last year.i got a lot from her style. she's not just a soprano, she's more than that! i adore her and dessay too.
I'm 13 and singing this tomorrow and just learned it today lol should i post it on my youtube??
Perfection. Just, wow!
Simply perfection.
Maravillosa Cecilia!! ❤
Love this piece
Damn guuurl! you are a queen 🌟💕🎶

sooo captivating at full of emotion!
Just beautiful!
Monday I have my classical audition to college and I pick this beautiful song 😭🔥😻
Beautiful👏
My favorite sopranos!
She isn't a Soprano.
Cecilia is the beeeeest
I can't tell if I'm a soprano or a mezzo. I have a broad range, I can actually sing alto, it just isn't as comfortable as mezzo or soprano.
MusicWOman if that is you singing O mio Dolce on your page, I would say you are a soprano.
She's a mezzo.
Definitely soprano
Beautiful thanks
I once had this whole concert on a VHS tape.......but that's long gone. Does anyone know if the whole concert is available on DVD? Thanks anyone!

What ever feels natural and right to you!
Why would you even allow someone else to tell you whether it's right or wrong to put your hands this way or that way? Are you a robot?
What she's doing is a variation of the "Austrian tug," which helps to keep the rib cage high when singing. It's also great for singers who don't know what to do with their hands (as frequently happens with me, too!).
wow, never knew that! thank you. yeah, it helps to figure things out beforehand especially when i want to convey the feelings of this song and hand motions usually help out with that when i understand the meaning well enough.
That's perfectly fine as long as you are understanding what you're talking about and you make that decision consciously because it's a seduction song and being timid may not work 100% of the time
I’m singing this for solo and ensemble next weekend!!!
How did it go?
I am learning it right now, love it 👍
Words cannot express the feeling her voices gives me. :)
잠시 머물다 갑니다. I'm stay here. Thank you very much.
I love her facial expressions!!
Wow! I really like it!!
i love this song and this singer!
Cecilia Bartoli is a living legend, and rightly so.
Quelle voix Cécilia Bartoli grandiose magnifique .
mamma mia, che brava... meravigliosa, commuovente.
