With this sheet music, you can play the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" from Verdi's opera "Nabucco" in an accurate piano arrangement which is not too hard to play, and sounds fantastic.
For better playability, the piece has been transposed one half step from the original key (G instead of F#).
"Va, pensiero" (the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves") is a chorus from Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Nabucco". This opera was Verdi's breakthrough as one of the major composers of the 19th century - Verdi himself said Nabucco "is the opera with which my artistic career really begins".
"Va, pensiero" is the most famous number from Verdi's Nabucco and one of the most popular opera pieces of all times.
Beginning with the famous opening lines "Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate", the Israelites (who are in Babylonian capticity and have lost the First Temple) long for their homeland and pray for God's help.
Here are the full lyrics to Verdi's "Va, pensiero" from Nabucco:
Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate;
va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l’aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
di Sionne le torri atterrate…
O mia patria sì bella e perduta!
O membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d’or dei fatidici vati,
perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile di Solima ai fati
traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
o t’ispiri il Signore un concento
che ne infonda al patire virtù.
