Description

Softly Awakes My Heart, or “Mon cur s’ouvre à ta voix” is a popular mezzo-soprano aria from Camille Saint-Saëns’s opera Samson and Delilah, or can translate more literally as “My heart opens itself to your voice”. It is sung by Delilah in act 2 as she attempts to seduce Samson into revealing the secret of his strength.
This arrangement is courtesy of Philip Sparke and is an established favourite in cornet solo repertoire.
