How Sweet Is the Torment, is a 2022 setting of Monteverdi's Baroque aria Si dolce e'l tormento which was published in 1624. Its strophic composition made it immediately catchy' and its original lyrics by Carlo Milanuzzi, conveys a very familiar topic: the sweet torment of a broken heart'. This song carries the subtitle: Recitar cantando, that new style of singing that imitates the inflections of the spoken text, thus, text (and elocution) is important. The text has been updated and put in the vernacular (English) by the arranger. This aria is arranged for a 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. Performance time: 4:35+-
