Musicology:

Il tramonto 2 ('Amo l'ora del giorno che muore')
Year: 1845
Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instrument: Voice

The title of this song translates as "The Twilight." It is set to a poem by Andrea Maffei. It is a glidingly wistful song that poignantly expresses longing for better times in the past. The tune glides lyrically in 6/8 over an accompaniment that features various patterns of arpeggios and repeated chords. The third verse introduces a bit of turbulence, and the fourth comes to a passionate climax as the speaker sings of the need to lead a weary life before moving on to a haven of peace.
