'Lectio 3 del Primo Notturno a voce sola con violini' is a vocal composition by the Italian composer Gaetano Veneziano. It was composed in the Baroque era, specifically in the 17th century. The piece was premiered in Naples, Italy, where Veneziano was active as a composer and musician. The composition is part of a larger work called 'Primo Notturno', which is a collection of vocal pieces for solo voice and instruments. 'Lectio 3' is the third movement of this collection and is written for a solo voice accompanied by violins. The piece is characterized by its use of Baroque musical techniques, such as the use of ornamentation and the use of a basso continuo accompaniment. The vocal line is highly expressive and is written in a style that emphasizes the text and its meaning. The violins provide a rich and colorful accompaniment that complements the vocal line. The text of 'Lectio 3' is taken from the Catholic liturgy and is a prayer for forgiveness and mercy. The music reflects the solemnity and seriousness of the text, with moments of intense emotion and moments of quiet reflection. Overall, 'Lectio 3 del Primo Notturno a voce sola con violini' is a beautiful example of Baroque vocal music. Its expressive vocal line and rich accompaniment make it a powerful and moving piece of music that continues to be performed and enjoyed today.
