Joseph Haydn’s Miseri noi, misera patria is a gripping lament on war and the destruction of a homeland. Performed by Julia Lezhneva, conducted by Giovanni Antonini, with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, this powerful cantata reveals Haydn not only as a master composer, but as a serious and socially aware artist, deeply conscious of the political and human realities of his time.
Setting a text by Pietro Metastasio, the cantata is a universal lament on the devastation of war and the destruction of a homeland.. The work opens with a stark cry—“Woe upon us! Woe upon our land!”—followed by a dramatic largo depicting fire, ruin, and collective suffering. The aria grows increasingly intense and virtuosic, culminating in a passionate final allegro that mirrors the unstoppable force of war.
A powerful and timeless work of classical vocal music, as relevant today as it was in Haydn’s time.
🎵 Joseph Haydn – Miseri noi, misera patria (Hob. XXIVa:7)
🎤 Soprano: Julia Lezhneva
🎻 Conductor: Giovanni Antonini
🎶 Orchestra: Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra
Woe upon us! Woe upon our land!
Ah, what disaster threatens you now?
Ah, to see your battlements destroyed!
The sword, the fire invades your streets!
Your walls burn, your temple turns to ashes!
The parents, the children, the husbands, the wives
The dearest friends embrace and flee.
All around me I hear indistinct moaning.
I hear the peace of the night shattered by sobs.
I hear the sighs, and the cries of communal pain.
The cries of those who fall, and those who die.
The encroaching dawn foretells the grievous horrors of death.
All around me, I hear entreating voices.
Already, in the fire and the carnage of the conqueror
As if playing, Fate advances and seeks out each victim.
