Dalla guerra amorosa (HWV 102) is a secular chamber cantata for either bass (HWV 102a) or soprano (HWV 102b) written by Georg Frideric Handel in Italy during 1708–9. Other catalogues of Handel's music have referred to the work as HG l,34; (there is no HHA numbering).[1] The title of the cantata roughly translates as "From the war of amorous passion".[2]

Dalla guerra amorosa, is thought to be among the works written for Francesco Maria Marescotti Ruspoli, 1st Prince of Cerveteri, as the manuscript source is a copy made for Ruspoli in August 1709. This work is delicate and even poignant – the aria to the fading of beauty, La bellezza è come un fiore, is reminiscent of Come rosa in su la spina in Apollo e Dafne. The cantata has a refrain (Fuggite, sì fuggite) which is also reflected in the music, and ends with a delightful arioso following the last refrain.

A typical performance lasts between 8 and 11 minutes.[3]

9 Dalla guerra amorosa
or che ragion mi chiama
oh miei pensieri
fuggite pur, fuggite
vergognosa non è
in amor la fuga, che sol fuggendo un'alma
del crudo amor
può riportar la palma.
2 Aria B major 3

Allegro 128 Non v'alletti un occhio nero,
con suoi sguardi lusinghiero,
che da voi chieda pietà
Che per far le sue vendette,
e con arco e con saette,
ivi amor nascoso sta.

13 Fuggite, si fuggite,
ahi! di quanto veleno amore
asperge i suoi piaceri,
ah! quanto ministra duolo e pianto,
a chi lo segue,
e le sue leggi adora.

Se un volto v'innamora,
sappiate, oh pensier miei,
che ciò che piace
in brev'ora svanisce,
e poi dispiace.

4 Arioso D minor 4

26 La bellezza è come un fiore:
sul matin vivace e bello,
sul matin di primavera,

Che la sera langue e more, si scolora e non par quello.

25 Fuggite, sì fuggite,
a chi servo d'amor vive in catena,
è dubbioso il gioir,
certa è la pena.
