Alma del core,
spirto dell'alma!
Alma del core,
spirto dell'alma,
sempre costante t'adorerò,
t'adorerò, t'adorerò,
t'adorerò, t'adorerò!
Alma del core,
spirto dell'alma,
sempre costante t'adorerò,
sempre costante t'adorerò!

Sarò contento
nel mio tormento,
se quel bel labbro baciar potrò,
se quel bel labbro,
se quel bel labbro baciar potrò.

Alma del core,
spirto dell'alma,
sempre costante t'adorerò,
t'adorerò, t'adorerò,
t'adorerò, t'adorerò!
Alma del core,
spirto dell'alma,
sempre costante t'adorerò,
sempre costante t'adorerò!

Caldara was born in Venice around 1670, and died in Vienna in 1736. He was the son of Giuseppe Caldara, a local violinist of no great fame. In his childhood, Caldara was a choirboy at St. Mark's Cathedral and also studied the viol, the cello, and keyboard.

It is likewise uncertain just how much composing Caldara did in his early years, and only a few works survive from this time in his life (these works, interestingly, include the only instrumental chamber music Caldara ever wrote). Caldara likely traveled to Rome towards the end of the seventeenth century, but returned to Venice around 1698.
