Ohhhh yes of course I have this :D (As Miranda's Hamilton would say, "Is it a question of if or which one? No, seriously, I, uh, was choosing between four versions I own. Which doesn't even count the ones I didn't like!) I don't have my computer that has software for making a clip, but here you go:
So here's the thing. "Io morrò, ma lieto in core" is actually the death aria Posa sings after he's been shot and is dying. You will also want the aria he sings right before that, "C'est mon jour suprême" / "Per me giunto è il dì supremo" a) because one really cannot have enough of Simon Keenlyside, in my opinion :P (he is the Posa in the clip I gave you with Philip) b) Alagna (the Carlo) and Keenlyside are both such great actors and also c) I CANNOT BELIEVE I didn't make this connection before, for this or Io morrò, but in this first aria he totally sings "l' estremo spiro lieto è a chi morrà per te" (The last breath is joyful for the one who dies for you) which, you know, just in case you don't get it in the scene where he's actually dying :)
I am having a bit of trouble getting to this but I think it has to do with this particular computer; hopefully you don't :)
Anyway, the scene starts at 2:54:08 and ends 3:05:02.
I'm also going to give you a couple more time coordinates, but you really really want to watch the whole scene: Death: 3:01:10 Io morro starts 3:02:46
It's also seriously amazing that he sings WHILE LYING DOWN and even more so WITH HIS TORSO AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE. That man has serious abdominal muscles.
