"È morto il mio Gesù" is an aria from the oratorio Morte e sepoltura di Christo (engl.: Christ's Death and Burial) by Antonio Caldara. The libretto was created by Francesco Fozio; the work was first performed in Vienna in 1724.[2] The role of Maria di Giacobbe was first created by Giovanni Carestini.[1][3]
"Maria di Giacobbe"
In the medieval Legenda aurea, Cleophas is directly identified with Alphaeus, the father of Jacobus the Younger (Mt 10:28 EU), so that his wife Mary is regarded as the mother of Jacobus the Younger, Simon Zelotes and Judas Thaddeus. This identification is also held today by individual, mostly Catholic interpreters, who assume a sameness or alternation of names of one and the same person due to the similarity of the names, as it occurred more frequently with the Graecization of Jewish names (the assumption presumes a person with the seminitic name "Chalpai").(Translated from German Wikipedia)[4]

| libretto-text =Caro Giesù, qual ti rimiro,
ahi lassa! Lacero, esangue!
e voi, mie luci ingrate,
dal cieco orror di morte
oppresso il Divin lume
al fin vedete, e tenebrose,
e cieche ancor non siete?
Vccidestimi, affanni;
Che giusto è ben che mora
l’addolorata salma, in cui
già manca ogni conforto all’alma.
È morto il mio Giesù:
Chi me consolerà,
ditemi per pietà,
voi, stelle, almeno.
Viver non posso più,
or che il mio sol non hò:
Ahi! ahi quando rivedrò
suo bel sereno.
