Musicology:

Il mistero ('Se tranquillo a te daccanto')
Year: 1845
Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instrument: Voice

This song, whose title translates as "The Mystery, " is set to a poem by Felice Romani. It is the song of a man who appears happily in love to passersby, yet is suffering in his heart. The vocal lines are lyrically expressive, with rising chromatic phrases that poignantly inform the melody at several points. The accompaniment sometimes ripples placidly, sometimes introduces some turbulence in the low register, and the harmony sometimes takes some unexpected turns that heighten the expression of inner turbulence.
