Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia was premiered at Milan's Teatro alla Scala on 26 December 1833 and is considered one of the composer's most important and innovative operas of the 1830s. Although, because of censorship issues, particularly in the south of Italy, it was initially slow to become popular, by the late 1830s it had become one of the composer's most popular operas, both in Italy and abroad, and remained an essential part of the composer's oeuvre until at least the end of the nineteenth century. Remarkable for its daring subject matter (with an unconventional, forceful heroine), it is also renowned for its challenging mixture of the comic and the tragic, something very unusual at the time and clearly an important influence on Giuseppe Verdi's middle period masterpieces. The present reduction for voice and piano derives from the critical edition of the score, recently published in this catalog: is based on Donizetti's autograph manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives in Milan), on the libretto for the premiere, on several printed editions of voice and piano, and on numerous additional scores of the period. It presents for the first time all the numerous additions that the composer made to the score over the course of ten years: a fascinating record of his changing music dramatic attitudes during this period. There is also a synthetic historical reconstruction of the genesis of the opera and of the description of the Sources as well as a selection of most interest to singers of Critical Commentary Notes.Rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro alla Scala il 26 dicembre 1833, Lucrezia Borgia e considerata una fra le piu importanti e innovative opere di Donizetti. Sebbene le resistenze della censura, soprattutto nel sud Italia, ne causarono inizialmente una lenta diffusione, dalla fine degli anni '30 dell'Ottocento essa divenne uno dei lavori piu popolari e significativi del compositore e tale rimase fino alla fine del XIX secolo. Notevole per il suo audace soggetto (con un'eroina non convenzionale e dalla forte personalita) essa e rinomata anche per l'impegnativa commistione di comico e tragico, un tratto piuttosto inusuale per l'epoca, che ebbe una chiara influenza sui capolavori verdiani di meta secolo. La presente riduzione per canto e pianoforte e condotta sull'edizione critica della partitura, da poco pubblicata in questo stesso catalogo: si basa sul manoscritto autografo di Donizetti (conservato presso l'Archivio Storico Ricordi di Milano), sul libretto della prima rappresentazione, su alcune riduzioni a stampa per canto e pianoforte e su varie altre fonti dell'epoca. L'edizione presenta per la prima volta tutte le aggiunte che il compositore apporto alla partitura nel corso di dieci anni, costituendo un'affascinante testimonianza dei mutevoli approcci di Donizetti alla materia drammatico musicale durante questa fase della sua carriera. Il volume comprende una sintesi della ricostruzione della genesi storica dell'opera e della descrizione delle fonti e una selezione di Note del Commento Critico fra quelle piu funzionali alle esigenze di cantanti e pianisti accompagnatori.

This exceptional collection of 41 truly beautiful airs and ballads from the British Isles offers both well-known tunes by the prolific blind Irish harpist, Turlough Oâ??Carolan and rarely heard melodies by anonymous composers; all have stood the test of time. Arranged for soprano or tenor recorder, these include Oâ??Carolanâ??s classically influenced â??Lord Inchiquinâ? and â??Eleanor Plunkettâ? as well as â??O Gentle Doveâ? and â??Cuckoo Dearâ?â?? both examples of the strong tradition of song in Wales. Among other tunes, the haunting modal melodies of â??The Dark Slender Boyâ? and â??Enchanted Valleyâ? express the melancholic heart and soul of the British Isles.A few of these songs have taken on a life of their own in modern times. â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a popular traditional tune of northern England and Scotland, was arranged for soprano voice and harp by the 20th century British composer, Benjamin Britten. â??The Skye Boat Songâ? originally recounted Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuartâ??s journey to the Isle of Skye after his defeat at the historic Battle of Culloden. Later, the song evolved into a lilting lullaby and was more recently used as the theme song for the popular Outlander television series.Departing slightly from recorder notation practice, author Marcia Diehl has judiciously arranged these melodies complete with spare slur markings to aid the amateur player in authentically and musically rendering these tunes.
