"Quel buon pastor son io" is an aria sung by the character Abel in the oratorio La morte d'Abel[1] by Antonio Caldara. The full name of the libretto is La morte d’Abel figura di quella del nostro Redentore (Abel’s Death as a Symbol for That of Our Saviour.
The author of the libretto is Pietro Metastasio.
Caldara's version was the very first – around 40 different compositions setting Metastasio's libretto to music were to follow.[1]
Libretto
Quel buon Pastor son io,
Che tanto il Gregge apprezza
Che per la sua salvezza
Offre se stesso ancor.
Conosco ad una ad una
Le mie dilette agnelle
E riconoscon quelle
Il tenero Pastor.
